About PSI

History

In 1995, a group of parents seeking a genuinely international schooling experience for their children in Kyiv worked together to found PSI as a private, non-profit school. As an English medium school serving international and host national families in Kyiv, PSI has grown steadily each year, attracting students from the diplomatic, government and business community. Since 2000 PSI has been authorised to teach all three International Baccalaureate® (IB) programmes. In 2003 the school moved to its present site.

A total of 420 students attend PSI. The student body is 24% Ukrainian, 14% USA, 8% UK, 7% Polish, 5% French, and 42% from 36 other nationalities.
