Olesia Popenkova
Principal The Russian School of Abu DhabiWelcome to Our School Community
Created on the basis of close cultural ties between Russia and the United Arab Emirates, the Russian School of Abu Dhabi, in collaboration with the Primakov School, gives students a quality education based on the Russian educational program. Students study all subjects of the Federal State Educational Standard of the Russian Federation and subjects that are mandatory for all students in the UAE, such as Arabic.
The Russian School in Abu Dhabi is an innovative educational environment with individual educational trajectories for each student. We strive to develop critical thinking, independent judgment, and responsible decision-making skills in our students. Children study in a multicultural environment, allowing them to grow up open, reflective, and tolerant. It is important for us to teach children the core values of citizenship and guide them toward success in the interests of state and society.
Learning & Daily Rhythm
The daily schedule includes curricular and extracurricular activities, an extra-academic program, and enrichment classes. We immerse each child in an atmosphere of learning, creativity, and development from morning to evening. We are creating a school community in which everyone can find something to their liking, broaden their horizons, and discover new talents.
Our Academic Team
The academic team of the school is represented by teachers with Russian and international educational experience. We are a team of like-minded educators who learn from one another, share best practices, and implement continuous professional development. Being the ideal school for every student and family is an ongoing journey that we strive toward every day.
