Palme Online School
The Palme online school was created by Andrey Ahachinsky to help bilingual children preserve their Russian language and connection with their culture, even if their families live outside of Russia. Here, children aged 4 to 17 learn to speak, read, and write in Russian in an engaging, supportive environment, while parents receive a clear roadmap for their child’s development—from their first sentences to confident communication with their family.
