Palme Online School
The online school Palme was created by Andrey Apachinsky to help bilingual children maintain their Russian language skills and connection to culture, even if their families live outside of Russia. Here, children aged 4–14 learn to speak, read, and write in Russian in a fun, supportive environment, while parents receive a clear path for their child's development – from the first phrases to confident communication with family.
On a separate «School History» page, you can develop the story of the first clubs, the transition to online, and the formation of the teaching team.

What do the classes look like?
- We cover topics that will be useful in everyday life and dating.
- We use interactive formats, pictures, cartoons.
- We work with a methodology that covers reading, speaking, and listening.
- We give assignments from brightly colored textbooks to consolidate knowledge.
