Welcome to Le Fort School of Science - a UK School Overseas

“Le Fort” is a dedicated, non-profit exclusive private school specifically designed for gifted and talented children aged 3,5 to 18.

The campus in the Lefortovo district of Moscow was established in 1935 as a public school. 

In 2008, the international school in its current guise was set up specifically to serve children of diplomatic missions and staff from multinational companies operating in Moscow.

Since 2022, the school has been known as Le Fort School of Science to reflect its academic orientation and campus location. It is a non-profit organization. Around 80% of our students come from expatriate families, but we also warmly welcome local residents who are keen on modern British education and school diplomas that offer access to universities worldwide.

“Le Fort” School of Science (former known as the English School of Science) is a UK school following the English national curriculum for England and Wales with a fresh approach to the syllabus. We have a keen focus on maths, science and IT, as well as developing first class English literacy and offering a generous syllabus in humanities. Affordability for all is key.

Academic excellence is matched by a holistic curriculum which includes good manners, widening cultural awareness and social responsibility. Small class sizes ensure individual attention; and a ‘House’ system makes for team spirit and care across ages.

 

Now, Le Fort is a leading international school – and the only one UK STEM school in Moscow – with a reputation for academic success. We celebrate hard work and achievement across all areas of school. Every child is valued as an individual, with a unique set of abilities, needs and interests. Our focus is on developing each child’s potential in a happy, caring and stimulating environment.

 

Accredited Diplomas: Le Fort is a registered Pearson Edexcel Examination Centre, our curriculum is identical to the top independent schools in the UK. Thanks to its innovative syllabus and methodology, Le Fort stands out as one of the most successful international schools, attracting talented students and ranking highly among British schools in GCSE and A-Level exam results.

 

Specialised Educators: Classes are taught by highly qualified teachers and subject experts specifically certified in advanced pedagogy for highly capable learners, EAL and students from diverse backgrounds.

 

 

Academic Excellence:the school follows the state English National Curriculum of England and Wales culminating in rigorous GCSE and A-Level examinations.

A solid educational foundation is essential for children to understand the world around them. At Le Fort, we combine a research-based approach to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with a strong foundation in literacy, humanities, and arts.

 

Mission and Vision: The English School Foundation, (ESF), has founded its Le Fort School of Science in Moscow with the mission to prepare students to be leaders of tomorrow. 

In all aspects of school life, students are encouraged to love learning, live purposefully and be responsible, contributing citizens of the world. 

We believe the following:

  • Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are crucial for the advancement of civilization.
  • Humanities, world languages, and the fine arts are essential for students to understand and express themselves in the context of the world around them.
  • Research-based education shapes the adolescent brain in a beneficial way.
  • Integrity is fundamental to a responsible and meaningful life.
  • The ethical application of knowledge improves our world.
  • Collaborative and independent learning are both essential for substantive achievement.
  • The habit of excellence can be developed.
  • Education should equip students to contribute positively to society.
  • A healthy body and mind are essential to intellectual development and a productive life.
  • Excellent teaching ignites a sense of wonder.

We want our students to have well-rounded personalities with independent and inquiring minds, as well as a positive, tolerant, and ethical attitude. By the time our students leave our school, we expect them to have a true sense of confidence and self-worth that will empower them to pursue not only personal interests

School should be a time in life when you enjoy and experience as much as possible and at Le Fort we ensure that this extends beyond teaching in the classroom. We encourage our girls and boys to get fully involved in all aspects of school life and firmly believe in the maxim that the more you put into life, the more you get out of it.

One of the reasons many parents choose to send their children to LF is the sheer breadth of opportunities available to our students and the community atmosphere that pervades everything we do.

School Activities

 

Our students have many opportunities to enjoy a wide range of activities to support their learning in the classroom. The school runs school trips and master-classes throughout the year. There are also activities initiated by students: our annual Spring Bazaar fair, enjoyed by the whole community and where each class creates a stall, annual Winter Concert for the families and friends, Harvest Festival and other fun events, such as Pyjama party or Pirates Ahoy Party and a lot more.

 

Musical recitals, whole school and class assemblies are also held each week and parents are invited in to enjoy some of these exciting performances.

 

 

Language Immersion – ESL

English as a Second Language at Early Years and Primary School

The language of instruction at school is English. We have dedicated ESL teachers that provide extra support to students learning English.

Language immersion for English as a Second Language (ESL) is an instructional approach where students learn English not as a standalone subject, but as the primary medium for communication and academic content. We welcome ESL students from age 3.5 to 9 years old at our Early Years and Primary school.
