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.

During the first year of operation, children can enroll in kindergarten from ages 3-6 and the primary program from ages 7-11. In the following years, the Russian School of Abu Dhabi will expand to enroll students in other grades.

Assessments

The Russian School of Abu Dhabi (RSAD) uses several types of assessments to measure and monitor student progress and achievement, including (but not limited to): • Formative and summative assessments • Criterion/standards-based measurements • Normative tests and/or assessments • Classroom developed assessments • National/international assessments
The RSAD may also use assessments to assess career and/or college readiness. Some of these assessments may be administered in cooperation with external agency or board.
Assessments that are used to compare the achievements of groups of students are administered by an external agency/group that the schools sponsor. The data, including student names and achievement information, is stored, collected, or managed off-site.
All assessments, exams, or tests are conducted with the principal's written approval at least twenty-one working days in advance.

Educational programs in Russia are regulated in accordance with the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 N273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation”.
