German Curriculum International Schools in Russia

German-curriculum international schools in Russia are typically run as German Auslandsschulen or as national schools offering the Deutsches Sprachdiplom (DSD), following German curricula and preparing pupils for German school-leaving qualifications such as the Mittlere Reife and the Allgemeine Deutsche Hochschulreife (Abitur). Instruction is predominantly in German, with Russian taught as the host-country language and English (and sometimes other European languages) offered as foreign languages; many schools operate bilingual streams or structured language support for newcomers. Fees in major cities are comparable with other private international schools - for example, published annual tuition at established German schools in Moscow and St Petersburg is in the range of about EUR 9 - 11k (with sibling discounts and other optional charges common), but costs vary by campus and service level. Admissions normally require registration, an intake interview and, where relevant, language testing; places are most in demand ahead of the September school year but some schools accept enrolments during the year and will assess placement and language support on a case-by-case basis.
