ASPECT British Kindergarten — is a school for little ones that places great emphasis on its programmes of study.

• All programmes of study are adapted to the Russian culture.
• The lessons are conducted in mini-groups of 6-7children.

‘The Path to Success’, our core bilingual pre-school programme of study, is designed for 5 years and prepares the child for further education both in Russia and abroad because after graduating from our kindergarten children will be able to master any further programme of study regardless of its difficulty. Our programmes not only contribute to the cognitive development of the child but also increase their motivation for further study. ASPECT British Kindergarten teachers can turn any challenging task into an engaging adventure to prove that learning is fun.

ASPECT British Kindergarten provides an opportunity for the child to also follow the additional ‘British Standards’ English language programme of study.

The process of teaching and upbringing at ASPECT British Kindergarten is based on the rules and principles popular in Great Britain. These are our Golden Rules. They are followed in practically all British schools.

Traditional Golden Rules help young children to learn to respect themselves and the people around them, to pay attention to the teacher, to react appropriately to the teacher’s comments. Adhering to the Golden Rules develops a balanced personality and teaches discipline therefore it trains young children to cope with the future school workload without going through a challenging adaptation stage.
