Vladivostok - Post Report Question and Answers

What is the availability of international schools? What has been your general experience with them, if any?

As noted by others, very limited. The School For the Gifted was the only real option and was the school that American, Japanese, and Korean expat students attended (English language instruction). Expats with small children enrolled them in local kindergartens/preschools, and their children quickly learned Russian. - Jun 2017


My kids went to a local Russian kindergarten, which they loved. There is a school called "The School for Gifted Children" which teaches in English but the teachers and most of the students are Russian. There is no accredited international school as of 2012. - Apr 2012


There are not really many good options for older kids. There's one private English-language school, and one public school that teaches half in English, half in Russian. My kids already spoke a bit of Russian, so we sent them to a Russian-language private school, which, we came to notice, wasn't so strong academically. Schooling here for younger kids is okay, but for older kids the options are extremely limited. - Jun 2009


None. - Apr 2009
