Volna Online School's Values
Our journey began with the establishment of Pushkin’s School of Russian Language and Literature, an esteemed group of five supplementary Russian schools in England, founded back in 2009. Throughout the years, we have taken great pride in educating hundreds of students, fostering their love for the Russian language and culture.
In 2014, in collaboration with renowned institutes in Moscow, we embarked on an exciting endeavor, crafting a unique and effective curriculum that has consistently delivered amazing results for our students. This milestone marked a turning point in our commitment to providing exceptional education and instilling a lifelong passion for language learning.
Operating on Saturdays and Sundays at primary schools in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, and Essex, Pushkin's School was thriving until 2020. However, with the challenges posed by COVID-19 and unpredictable lockdowns, we knew it was time to adapt.
