Located in a quiet and safe neighborhood with 24 hour security, our school is located on the ground floor in a building that belongs to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Setting Description:

Moscow's origins as a symbol of Russian spiritual and political power date back more than 850 years. It is no surprise that today the city is the barometer and nucleus of the changes sweeping through Russia. Formerly referred to as the center of one of the world's two superpowers, Moscow is still reeling from the rapid pace of change that has hit Russia within the past decade. Nowhere other than in Moscow are Russia's contrasts more apparent: ancient monasteries and ultra-modern monoliths stand side by side while new Russian millionaires and poverty stricken pensioners walk the same city streets.
