MAGIC CASTLE International School follows the National Curriculum for England. The cut off date is September 30. We deliver a high standard of education in a wide cultural context. Our children learn about the world through personal observation, hands-on experience and exposure to a range of input about our Themes of Inquiry.
Russian language as part of our standard programme take up some time in the afternoon with Speech Development, Reading, Writing and Russian Music. Children are equally ready for a Russian school by the end of our pre-school programme.
Academic assessments are conducted 4 times a year and individual progress meetings are held with each family twice a year.
