British International School Moscow (BIS)
Reviews & Information

Thank you for another wonderful school year, it was full of new experiences. I am very grateful for seeing my child literally run to school every day! Thank you to all the teachers and the school’s management for building a very warm and trustworthy relationship with the kids along with a friendly environment in which my child wanted to learn and enjoyed the process.

Our little guy goes to the BIS kindergarten campus in the North of Moscow and loves it there. The school seems tiny for adults but it’s just perfect for little ones, especially the playground all around the school and we love the neighboring forest. We weren’t sure how many international students would be per class but our son’s friends are from different countries, including embassy kids from all over the world.

British education with full immersion in history, culture and of course the language, which can be obtained without leaving Moscow. We study for three years and for three years the child has been growing and developing in a positive environment. The whole organisation of the pedagogical process is clear and thought out to the smallest detail. All lessons are held exclusively in English, even music and Drama club. The lessons are full of research activities, children gain knowledge by working hard, rather than rewriting textbooks and memorising unnecessary rules with complex vocabulary. The teachers are positive, correct, always smiling, they solve any problem quickly and professionally, the atmosphere at the school is acceptance and respect for each member of the team from the kid-student to the parent.

A wonderful school that truly cares for students, teachers, and parents. Yes, there is no glossy new campus, but that is because the school funnels all of its resources into retaining excellent British teachers (although one teacher is from New Zealand). As a half American, half Russian family, we continue to be happy with our choice as we watch our children flourish academically and socially. BIS has a strong parent community for my wife to be engaged in my children's learning while I have enjoyed every interaction I have had with school administration and teaching staff. Not something I can say about the other schools which we have visited before making a decision to join BIS.

I was abjectly humiliated by colleagues and my line manager did nothing. Odd organisation that allows staff to humiliate each other with no consequences. I would prefer to work for a school that supports the humiliated, not the humiliator.

It's a great school, having been British and moving at the age of 8, this school made everything easy for me <3
