We are grateful to our clients for their trust and positive feedback on our joint work.
My child studied at BIS 9 on Nakhimovsky Prospekt from September 2020 to March 2023 in Years 3 and 4 in the British programme (we decided to move to another country). Many thanks to the teachers. Especially dear Mr Nape and Mr Rafton. They are dedicated teachers. Also thanks to Mr Gavin and Mr Brown, they are great professionals. Mr Kelly is a wonderful Headteacher who always has everything under control (there is no a sense of indifference at school). The international programme is taught entirely in English (British English, all teachers have excellent pronunciation). There is an EAL group for those who need to improve their language skills. The teachers are passionate about their work (which is the most important thing; I think), the programme is engaging, but at the same time academic. There are often tests and parents' meetings. Holidays are organised to the highest standard. We had a goal to avoid the stress of moving to another country, and this goal has been achieved. The child successfully passed the interview to a new good school in another country without any problems.
There are a few hours of Russian language (and almost none is spent reading), but we knew it before we entered the school (if you study an international programme). There are numerous school clubs (some of them are included in the tuition fee).
The main thing for me is that my child really liked the school. The teachers do their best to make sure that the children learn, but at the same time they use a lot of games in the process, so the learning is really fun.
Teachers are cheerful, and every issue is resolved immediately and competently. The atmosphere at the school that values and accepts every team member, from the child to the parent. My daughter loves and respects Mr. Rafton, an incredibly skilled teacher and an incredible person.
All three of my children attended the British International School. The eldest Anya (25 years old) graduated from the Universities of Edinburgh and Oxford and now works in London. The middle one (18 years old) is studying in London at the Faculty of Economics, and the youngest (13 years old) is now studying at Concord College. Thank you very much for your help on this difficult path! Many Russian children have received a ticket to a great interesting life after studying at your school.
