Berkeley Russian School

Program

Русская школа в Беркли

Our goal is to help children keep and develop the Russian language and culture.

Our program is designed to meet the needs of children, ages 3 to 16. All classes are conducted in Russian and we offer two levels:

  • advanced - for children who can speak and understand Russian
  • beginners - for children who speak mostly English but can still understand Russian

Classes are held at the Berkeley location. The School is open year round, 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm, on the week days and 10:00 am to 2:00 pm on the weekends.

We accept full-time as well as part-time enrollment.

We would be happy to have your child at our School.
