Russian Curriculum

The Russian government establishes a national curriculum for all schools to follow, consisting of four key stages: kindergarten, primary education, secondary education, and high school education. The Russian school in Abu Dhabi is the first to offer the Russian curriculum in the Emirate.

Non-Russian-speaking students can enroll in the school and engage in an immersive educational program set within a Russian-speaking environment, which also includes English and Arabic. The school also offers a Russian immersion program with linguistic support. The curriculum is enriched with an English language program, seamlessly integrated into the weekly schedule at all education levels.
