This is the age when a love for language is formed, and the language barrier is broken down. Learning is based entirely on play, movement, and creativity. We help children expand their vocabulary and start using Russian freely beyond family conversations.

Russian Language: Developing coherent speech and phonemic awareness. We learn to build sentences correctly, pronounce sounds clearly, and describe the world around us. We gently introduce letters and prepare the hand for writing.

Science & Logic: Exploring the planet in Russian!

Literature: Interactive reading of fairy tales and stories. We teach children to listen, predict plot twists, empathize with characters, and retell their first stories.

For children attending English-speaking schools, we build a solid academic foundation through language exploration and unconventional tasks.

Russian Language: Practical grammar and orthography through language quests and games. Special focus on spelling and penmanship — forming correct and beautiful handwriting.

Literature: Transitioning to mindful reading. We teach cause-and-effect relationships: why did the character act this way? What's hidden between the lines? We start understanding genres, text structure, and even write our own stories and poems!

TRIZ Elements (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving): We teach children to think outside the box, solve open-ended problems, invent their own fairy tales, and find logical connections.

Teenagers need to see the practical value of the language. We turn classes into an intellectual club where every text becomes a reason for a serious conversation about the world and themselves.

Russian Language: Stylistics, rich "adult" vocabulary, and speech culture. Developing strong writing skills: learning to write structured essays, reviews, debate notes, and creative projects.

Literature: In-depth analysis of classical and contemporary works. We learn to analyze the author's stance, historical context, metaphors, and character psychology. Through literature, we develop critical thinking.

Debate Club: Lessons include debate elements. Teens learn to argue logically, defend their point of view in Russian, listen to opponents, and formulate strong arguments.

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL): We use the cutting-edge CLIL approach, naturally blending language acquisition with fascinating topics from history, geography, science, and beyond.

Do you want to understand spoken Russian, read in the original language, communicate with family, or discover a new culture? We invite adults to "Curious Cat" for Russian as a Foreign Language (RFL) classes. Lessons are held individually (or in mini-groups), allowing maximum attention to your questions.

Price: $40 per 45-minute session

Calligraphy is more than just neat handwriting. It's a practice of mindfulness, developing fine motor skills and patience. We teach children to feel the rhythm, pressure, and harmony of every movement.

What we develop in the course:

Concentration and calmness: Drawing lines helps a child slow down and focus on the "here and now."

Fine motor skills: Precision in movement directly impacts speech and cognitive development.

Aesthetic vision: We teach children to see beauty in details, proportions, and composition.

Self-confidence: By turning writing into art, the child gains confidence that translates to their school notebooks.
We move away from boring mechanical drills and turn every lesson into a creative exploration: learning to work with tools, understanding the logic of a stroke, and creating true handwritten masterpieces.

Arts & Crafts: Painting, drawing, and sculpting with various materials to develop spatial thinking and aesthetic vision.

The Result: Children express themselves creatively and naturally expand their vocabulary without tedious drills.
