Excellencia

The main feature of the school is the opportunity to study in two languages: English and French. In addition to these, as the main subjects, students study economics, literature, fine arts, design, mathematics, biology, physics and chemistry.

The academic program of the school offers several courses: Secondary School (grades 9-10), High School (grades 11) and IB - a course at the end of which students receive an International Baccalaureate diploma (grades 12-13). In addition, the school has unique curriculums that allow children to focus on specific subjects and gain the skills they need to succeed in school.

So, for example, the General Knowledge Workshop teaches how to analyze and interpret the information received, the seminar on methodology teaches how to search for the necessary information and work with educational literature. For those who do not speak French very well, there is a special FLE program (duration - from 3 months to 2 years), in which students improve the level of the language and get acquainted with the culture.

Excellencia works with an individual approach to each child, so the number of children in classes is no more than 12. Progress is monitored using weekly tests. During the holidays, the school organizes courses to repeat and consolidate the material covered in school subjects.

After the lessons, children can choose activities according to their interests. The school complex occupies 12 acres, where all conditions for learning, full personal and physical development and for living are created. Students are accommodated in school residences in rooms of 2-5 people. Boys and girls live in different buildings. The school is especially concerned about the safety of students. Video cameras are installed on the campus, and unaccompanied students are strictly prohibited from leaving the school. To limit the appearance of unauthorized persons on campus, the buildings are equipped with an electronic badge walk-through system.

Great attention is paid to sports in the school. On campus there is a huge heated swimming pool, a climbing ground, basketball and badminton courts, a football field and several sports halls. Students are offered 30 sports sections to choose from: from golf to water skiing. In addition, children can devote extracurricular time to painting, dancing and music.
