Education at ENS

Active communication and learning in a bilingual environment, on the one hand, help children confidently navigate today’s multicultural world, and on the other, provide a strong foundation for further education in both English and Russian.

ENS welcomes children aged 2 to 10

Education at ENS is delivered in English through two core programs:
  • the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) early childhood program
  • the English National Curriculum for primary school children.

In Russian, the program includes:
  • school readiness preparation
  • the primary school program in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard of the Russian Federation (FSES).

These programs make it possible to smoothly adapt children at any age to further education in both international and Russian schools.

The main goal of education at ENS is the all-round development of the child and proficiency in English across all four key skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Professional teachers and their assistant educators ensure full immersion in an English-language environment.
English National Curriculum Program for Children Aged 5–11
Early Years Foundation Stage Program for Children Aged 2–5
Primary School Program in Accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard of the Russian Federation (Ages 7–11)
School Readiness Program for Russian Schools (Ages 5–7)
A comprehensive Russian-language component of the program — both during school readiness and throughout primary school — allows children, when needed, to easily integrate into the Russian educational system at any stage of their learning. ENS specialists have also taken special care to protect bilingual children from biased attitudes toward so-called interference errors — an inevitable result of the interaction between two languages — by developing a unique methodology to prevent and address such language-related difficulties.

Active communication and learning in a bilingual environment, on the one hand, help children confidently navigate today’s multicultural world, and on the other, provide a solid foundation for further education in both English and Russian. It is also extremely important — and supported by scientific research and assessments — that proficiency in two or more languages acts as a catalyst for a child’s intellectual development.
Small Group Sizes

The daily schedule includes both group and individual activities. During lessons, children are often divided into small subgroups of 4 to 8 students, depending on their age.
Specialists

Teachers from English-speaking countries, their assistants, Russian language teachers, experienced administrators and campus heads, psychologists, speech therapists, coaches, musicians, and choreographers.
Development Monitoring

A key objective of the educational process is tracking each child’s progress. For this reason, scheduled one-on-one meetings between teachers and parents are held twice a year. At the end of the academic year, parents receive a detailed report on their child’s progress across seven areas of development.
Balanced Schedule

The children’s daily routine is carefully planned, psychologically grounded, and designed to motivate cognitive, physical, and creative activity.

Program Goals

ENS follows a full English immersion approach, with the language environment created by teachers from English-speaking countries who hold university-level teaching qualifications.
Within these programs, English is both the subject of study and the primary tool for learning and communication. ENS prioritizes a holistic approach to child development and education, fostering harmonious relationships with people and the world at large — including personal, social, and emotional well-being — as well as self-respect, self-confidence, independence, a sense of belonging, and the ability for self-development and lifelong learning.
To Achieve These Goals, We Provide:
Early Years Foundation Stage Program EYFS (2-5 years)
Baby Club (1,5-3 years)
At some ENS campuses, a Baby Club operates successfully for our youngest learners, helping future pupils adapt more easily to the English language, the environment, and new routines.

The Baby Club is a short-term language immersion environment, with sessions lasting 1.5 hours twice a week. In the Baby Club, toddlers interact with English-speaking teachers, parents, and peers, play educational games, sing, and dance. A warm and friendly atmosphere, the presence of a trusted adult, small group sizes, and the professional guidance of an experienced teacher who skillfully engages and holds the children’s attention all contribute to a smooth and positive adaptation.
The educational program for children under the age of five is based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which we refer to as the “Foundation Level.” This program represents a new stage in early childhood education for children aged 0 to 5. This period of development is important not only in itself, but also as a fundamental stage in preparing children for further learning.

The EYFS program includes 7 areas of development and 17 early learning goals.
Key Stage 2 (7-11 years)
Key Stage 1 (5-7 years)
The EYFS program prepares children to begin their studies under Key Stage 1 of the English National Primary Curriculum, the primary education system used in English-speaking countries, where formal schooling starts at the age of five.

In the early primary years, children study subjects such as environmental studies, mathematics, reading, and writing, still largely through play-based learning that reflects their age-related needs. At ENS, from the age of five, children may also begin a Russian school readiness program, based on parental choice. Experience shows that this integrated approach enables children to successfully enter and thrive in both international and Russian schools.
Between the ages of 7 and 11, children move on to the next level — Key Stage 2 of the English National Primary Curriculum. Under this program, pupils study daily until 3:30 p.m., after which classes are held according to the Russian educational program.

These preschool and primary education programs form the foundation of children’s learning and are used across international schools worldwide.
ESL - English as a Second Language
English Nursery and Primary School offers an ESL program for children aged 4–6 with no prior knowledge of English. The main goal of the ESL class is to prepare children for a smooth transition into the core primary program of the English National Primary Curriculum.

This program is an intensive course in which children acquire English while building foundational skills and competencies in writing, mathematics, and reading.

Interactive teaching methods are used throughout the program, including role play, educational activities, and modern creative pedagogical approaches. This allows for steady progress in language acquisition while supporting the child’s personal development in both creative and physical domains. During lessons, teachers do not switch to Russian, applying a full immersion, non-translation approach to language learning.

The success of learning in the ESL class is driven by the professionalism of ENS teachers, who apply an individualized, differentiated approach to each child.
Developing Cognitive Foundations for Learning

The program focuses on the development of all types of thinking processes — attention, perception, thinking, memory, imagination, logic, and the ability to solve problems in different ways. Special emphasis is placed on mathematics, as bilingual children are not only naturally gifted linguists, but also strong mathematical thinkers who use a wide range of problem-solving algorithms.
Speech Development and Literacy — Reading and Writing

The methodology for teaching reading and writing includes a system of tasks designed to prevent unwanted cross-language interference. Thanks to this approach, both languages are acquired simultaneously without being mixed. Focused attention to the speech development of a bilingual child supports the high-quality formation of balanced bilingualism.
Acquiring Core Knowledge About the World

Creating conditions for exploring the world in two languages — English and Russian — allows children not only to build a rich vocabulary in both languages, but also to lay a strong foundation for further learning and the development of a scientific worldview.
The program is enriched through complementary content in environmental studies within the Russian curriculum and Science and Understanding the World within the British curriculum, as well as through the introduction of integrated project-based learning. This approach increases the effectiveness of learning in both languages.
Program Features

A distinctive feature of the program’s methods and formats is the emphasis on problem-based and creative activities. This approach helps children develop skills in information searching and analysis, drawing conclusions, and engaging in discussion, while also supporting strong learning motivation.
The problem-based approach ensures a flexible teaching methodology that can be effectively adapted to the specifics of the subject matter and each particular educational situation, while taking into account children’s individual characteristics, interests, and strengths.
