The Russian language is:

A New World of Language
We help children to learn Russian from scratch in a way that makes it understandable and interesting. Even if the child has no language base, he/she will start to understand words from the first lessons thanks to the playful approach.
Cognitive Development
Russian is one of the richest languages in terms of structure and meaning. Studying it helps to develop analytical thinking, attention to detail and the ability to build complex logical structures.
A Launchpad for the Future
Knowledge of a second or third language expands a child's academic and career horizons. Russian opens access to a rich culture, academic resources and international opportunities in the future.
Personalized tracks
We don't tie you and your child to strict dates and programs. You can learn at your own pace, pause, come back - and still stay motivated and progress.
Support and Care
We choose a personalized route for each student, teaching through interest and encouragement. We create a sense of comfort - even if it is the child's first experience in a new language.

Who Is It For?

We will help your child:
  • Start learning Russian from scratch
  • Access the richness of Russian culture, literature, and ways of thinking
  • Develop cognitive flexibility by switching between thought systems
  • Learn to think clearly and express ideas with greater precision
Why Learning Russian Matters

The Russian language is new window to the worldIt helps children broaden their horizons and learn about unique cultures and systems of thought. Learning a second (or third) language as a child develops mental flexibility and makes learning in general more informed and confident.

By learning Russian, the child learns to think differently and to see the world from a new angle. It's not just skills - it's about developing empathy, logic and creativity.

Knowledge of the Russian language gives you access to the rich cultural heritageincluding music, literature and science. It is an opportunity to read Pushkin, Tolstoy, and Chukovsky in the original and to understand contexts not available in translation.

Program Structure

All Russian language groups at Palme School now follow our new Cyclical Program 3.0. Your child can join at any time and follow a personalized learning path at their own pace.
Groups/LevelsBeginnerElementaryBasicIntermediateAdvanced
Children 4-6 years oldKids BeginnerKIDSABB ElementaryKids+ BasicKids IntermediateKids Advanced
Children 7-9 years oldKids BeginnerJunior+ ElementaryJunior New BasicJunior IntermediateJunior Advanced
Children 10-14 years oldKids BeginnerTeenager+ ElementaryTeenager New BasicTeenager IntermediateTeenager Advanced
What Does This Mean?
  • Groups are organized by both age and language level — from complete beginners to advanced learners.
  • Our cyclical structure means that learning happens in repeating cycles. Topics are revisited regularly, helping students reinforce, consolidate, and review what they’ve learned. Each child progresses through levels based on their individual pace, background knowledge, and learning style.
Why It Works
  • You can start training at any timeYou no longer have to wait for the right group to start.
  • Personalized Progression: The group no longer advances only when everyone is ready — each child moves up individually when they are.
  • Learn at a Comfortable Pace:Need more time on a topic? No problem. Ready to move on? Let’s go!
  • Forced pause in training (due to illness, for example) - no longer a problemThe child can easily fill in the gaps in the next cycle of learning.
