Kyiv Schools & Campuses

The Kyiv Nivki Primary Campus serves children 3–8 years of age. Students follow the National Curriculum of England that focuses primarily on the development of the whole child as an inquirer. English is the language of instruction. For children whose native language is not English two years in Nursery and Reception are usually enough to become proficient English language users, enabling them to develop socially, and achieve academic success across the curriculum. At the Kyiv Nivki Primary Campus children study until they finish Year 4. Years 5–6 are completed at the Kyiv Nivki Secondary Campus. Starting from Year 2 students can also study the Ukrainian Programme and prepare to take the exams for the Ukrainian Atestat. Kyiv Nivki Primary Campus is proud of its warm and family-like atmosphere as well as its close cooperation between teachers, students and their parents.

The Kyiv Nivki Secondary Campus was the one where the history of the British International School in Ukraine started 20 years ago. Today the campus serves children 8–10 years of age who finish their Primary years programme and children 11–16 years of age who are offered the English National Curriculum Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 Cambridge IGCSE.
