Information about the school

The School of Young Politicians Gymnasium 1306 was founded in 2001. The school’s philosophy, mission and innovative teaching methods are  unique. The school community consists of students, staff, parents and  community partners working closely together to foster academic excellence, high  student achievement and an all-round individual development. Our programmes are  challenging and designed to provide students with a solid academic foundation for their future studies.

Our students excel at academic subjects, foreign languages, music, art and sports and often win in student competitions and contests.

The gymnasium has a number of societies and clubs where students can meet distinguished members of the community. In the Young Politicians’ Club our senior students can meet Cabinet ministers, diplomats, politicians, and  successful businessmen.

Our students have an excellent opportunity to meet Russia’ intellectual and  artistic elite — famous scientist and researchers, writers, musicians — who are invited to speak or perform at the school’s Music, Literary, Philosophy and  Ethics Societies and the Art Studio meetings. We strongly believe that  educating future leaders of the country should start as early as possible.

A team of school psychologists help our students to learn about themselves and find their individual leadership styles through case studies and training sessions.

Alongside the psychological support, a comprehensive network of afterschool activities is in place. To ensure their personal growth and to develop various competencies, our students can attend classes of drama, elocution and rhetoric, of ballroom dance, perform in a choir, a folklore group, or the student English theatre, engage in extra sport activities , work in a science laboratory or  attend a literary workshop.

The gymnasium prepares the students to meet most rigorous university entry requirements. All of our former students study at Moscow’s top higher education institutions.

Our energetic and dedicated teachers constantly look for new ways to meet the ever changing needs of our student body.
