What the fee covers
Russian Embassy school charges no tuition. The school's own site quotes article 88 of the Russian education law: a Foreign Ministry establishment abroad provides general education free of charge to the children of the staff it lists, and other children may also be admitted free of charge by decision of the head of the establishment, agreed with the ministry in Moscow, with Russian citizens given preference. No tuition figure appears anywhere on the site. Read 31 August 2026.

Getting in
By decision of the head of the diplomatic mission — the school is part of an embassy, not a private school running its own admissions.

Process. The school publishes the text of the law rather than an admissions procedure of its own. It gives a school telephone and a director's telephone for enquiries.
