Curriculum Overview

One School. Many Futures.

At Brookes Moscow, we believe the strongest education is one that does not limit a child’s possibilities.

Children grow, change and discover new interests over time. Our role is to guide and support them from their earliest years, when curiosity and confidence are just forming, through to the moment they are ready to make meaningful decisions about their future. Wherever that future may lead, our curriculum is designed to keep our students' options open, transitions smooth and standards high.

We offer a carefully structured education that combines internationally recognised programmes with support for national academic routes — all within one school community.

Kindergarten: A Confident Start (IEYC)

In our Kindergarten, children follow the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC).

This play-based, research-informed curriculum creates a secure and nurturing start to school life. Learning is built around exploration, relationships and real-world experiences, helping children develop early language, numeracy, independence and social skills in a natural and age-appropriate way.

IEYC lays the foundations not only for academic learning, but also for confidence, resilience and a genuine love of discovery.

Elementary School: Learning That Connects (IPC)

In Elementary School, students follow the International Primary Curriculum (IPC).

IPC combines clear academic expectations with engaging, topic-based learning. Students build strong subject knowledge while developing the ability to think independently, work collaboratively and understand the world beyond the classroom.

This balance between structure and creativity allows children to thrive academically while remaining curious, motivated and confident learners.

Middle School: Growing Capability and Independence (IMYC)

During Middle School, students follow the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC).

IMYC is specifically designed for early adolescence. Learning is organised around meaningful concepts that connect subjects and deepen understanding, while placing equal value on academic progress, wellbeing and personal development.

At this stage, students are encouraged to take greater responsibility for their learning and to develop the skills they will need for more demanding academic study.

High School (Pre-AP): International Qualifications (IGCSE)

In High School, students may follow a programme that includes preparation for the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE).

IGCSEs are internationally recognised academic qualifications, typically taken between the ages of 14 and 16. They provide a strong academic foundation across core subjects and are widely accepted as preparation for senior programmes and future study.

This stage focuses on building academic confidence, depth of understanding and readiness for more specialised choices in the final years of school.

High School: Flexible Routes to the Future

A-Levels
A-Levels allow students to focus in depth on a small number of subjects over the final two years of school. This route supports students with clear academic interests and a desire to specialise.

A-Levels are well regarded by universities in the UK and internationally and remain a trusted preparation for higher education.

Advanced Placement (AP)
Advanced Placement (AP) courses are developed by the College Board in the United States and give students the opportunity to study university-level material while still at school.

AP is valued for its academic rigour and flexibility. Strong results may support university applications worldwide and, in some cases, allow students to enter higher education with advanced standing.
