Director's Welcome
Welcome to Pechersk School International, Kyiv.
At PSI we are proud of our vibrant and diverse international community. We educate over 400 students between the ages of 3 and 18 from more than 50 different countries. Whilst the world comes to Pechersk School we firmly believe in our motto that we are “A Place Where We Belong”. Students are quickly made to feel part of the school and to feel happy, safe and cared for in a challenging learning environment.
The learning experience at PSI is shaped by a spirit of community, whereby students, teachers, parents work together to achieve our goals of creating independent learners and global citizens. PSI is a successful IB World School offering the three International Baccalaureate Organization programmes.
We hope that your children will become active, enquiring learners when they join the school community and that our well-qualified and committed faculty, our small class sizes, and our teaching resources and facilities will support them in their own pursuit of excellence. Our mission is to educate, inspire and challenge each student to realize his or her academic potential. We are always seeking to raise student expectations and are always trying to ensure that every student has the best preparation for the future that we can give them.
All of our students move on to higher education and invariably succeed within it. The challenges facing young people today require thoughtful and creative responses. Critical thinking and study skills are an integral part of our broad and balanced academic curriculum and this, in turn, is complemented by a wide range of extra-curricular activities.
Students are encouraged to explore their various abilities and interests to the full. Our after school programme gives students access to a wide range of clubs and sports including overseas competitions, drama, music, student leadership roles and community service activities.
The quality assurance we provide as a school committed to excellence also comes from our membership of the Council of International Schools (CIS), Central and Eastern European Schools Association (CEESA) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).
The real warmth of the school -- the atmosphere of friendship combined with endeavour -- lies within the students and staff. This can be appreciated best by visiting our school.
We look forward to welcoming you.
