Lyceum of Linguistic and Economic School

The School is a private non-commercial education establishment, founded in 1999 by Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages – which in its turn is an examination centre of Cambridge University in the RF. The School prepares its leavers for entrance to the founder Higher Education Establishment (HEE) as well as for entrance into the Philology, Linguistics, Economics and Politics profile Faculties of Moscow State Institute of International Relations, Lomonosov Moscow State University and other HEEs.

The establishment implements general secondary and (complete) high school education programmes, and also supplementary programmes in instructive, cultural studies and sport subjects. Learning occurs during high school years (from 7 to 11). The Federal and Regional components of the educational guide lines for secondary education establishments form the basis of teaching. The hall marks and concept of the Linguistics School as a school with advanced study of certain subjects are reflected in the school’s own curriculum and are demonstrated by including such subjects as the English language, Rhetoric, a second foreign language (Spanish, German, and French), English Literature, World Economics and Politics, the Economics of Russia, and a preparation course for Moscow Guides-Translators.

The Russian language and Mathematics are taught at a specialised level alongside the English language in the Senior Years, and in addition to this supplementary preparation for the Unified State Exam (USE) in the Russian language, Mathematics, Social Studies, the English language and other subjects is carried out. Pupils also prepare for and take Cambridge University certificate exams in English as a Second Language and First Language English at the School.

To cultivate a determined, competent, educated, and well-brought up school leaver with a good attitude to society and life. A task the School has set for itself is to form a highly qualified, creative and friendly teaching team of likeminded people. The School’s teaching is based on a humane personal approach to education and raising pupils, the basic principle of allowing the individuality and uniqueness of each child to shine while taking into account each child’s right to a subjective attitude to social values and the surrounding world, the mutual unmasking of the personalities of teacher and pupil, and unanimity in demands from and respect for a child.

The School’s working hours are the same as a normal school day. However, by way of helping very busy parents we can, by prior agreement, organise afternoon classes where pupils are supervised by a teacher and have the opportunity to complete homework to high standards, to consult with teachers on the Russian language, Mathematics, and the English language, to take part in social events with lunch and high-tea provided. “Whole day” groups finish at 7 p.m, although, when necessary, a child may remain at school even later than this.

Cutting-edge teaching techniques complement the humane personal approach to a child, small classes and a friendly atmosphere, interesting extra-curricular activities, the option of attending afternoon classes, the comfort and beauty of the School’s interior create all the conditions for getting to grips with the programmes successfully, the filling of gaps in knowledge, the formation of a broad skills base for pupils, the discovery and development of their creative potential, quick social adaptation and much besides all allow pupils to study here with interest and to achieve success.
