The Institute, as a higher professional education establishment, began operating in 1990 and from 1997 has been a Cambridge University Exams Centre in Russia.

As part of the Secondary School’s move for expansion, from 2015 we have formed a structural subsidiary: our British Lyceum (BL) whose purpose is to implement the United Kingdom’s secondary school curriculum in the English language. These programmes are: GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) for pupils of 14 – 16 years of age and the GCE A-level (General Certificate of Education Advanced Level) for 16 – 18 year old pupils preparing for higher education.

The British Lyceum (BL) is open for expatriate as well as Russian children with the opportunity, should it be so desired, of taking the Russian curriculum programmes externally in order to receive the Russian certificate of secondary education.

The principal aim of our British Lyceum (BL) is to create an educational atmosphere that allows pupils to prepare meticulously for entry into prestigious universities in the UK, the EU and other countries. Once pupils have received the British equivalent of a school leaving certificate from the most effective programmes: GCSE + GCE A-Levels, their way is paved to gain higher education.
