Hi,
We are moving to Moscow at the end of July. We have just visited Moscow and looked at a couple of schools and places to live.

One is the British international and Rosinka. The school seemed very nice and very small. Rosinka seemed nice but so quiet. The only people walking around were the gardners and what looked to be as Nannys. Did we just visit on a quiet day? Where are all the mums? We went into the community centre and still no one.

The other school was AAS which we liked as well. My daughter can get into the school for this year but not my son. Is there any way to improve his chances when we are Australian? Where do folks live near AAS other than PH or Chaika. There was a waiting list of 50 families at PH and Chaika is out of our budget. We have 2 dogs so the appartment across the road from PH is out. Does anyone live in Rosinka and bus their kids to AAS?
Thanks for any help.

Hello!
unfortunately, i've never been in Rosinka, Pokrovskiy Hills, Chaika and about schools...thanks to you, i know that they are exist..

maybe you should find something else? in Internet i've found school "International school in Moscow" internationalschool.ru it's for children 2-13 y.o. (as i red on their web site)..it's situated inKrylatskoe..you know, it's sleeping quarter and there is no manufactures, etc.here...in general this part of Moscow is one of the cleanest..also there's big zone names "Krylatskiy Hills" - there're trees, grass, hills, spring,roads for biking, walking,in winter it's possible to skiing. also in Krylatskoe there's a skating-palace,where're sometimes held different international competitions...about accommodation: i think it would b good and not very expensive and hard to find something there some flat or appartment in Krylatskoe...good area with good infrustructure and not far from center..in bus schedule i see that bus goes also from the center..maybe you can contact the stuff of school?...

Hi Goldie,
As I looked for a kindergarten for my kids I found out that British shools in Moscow do have preferences for British citizens, then the Commonwealth citizens, which, I guess, might be helpful in your situation. Try to contact them on the phone.

I don't know if this reply is late or not.

Anyway, Rosinka is a GREAT place to live, especially if you have little kids. All the other families live close by and the school is great. It may seem a little deserted at times (especially in winter) but once you get to know the place and the people, it's really great.
