HISTORY
LITC Russian-English Private School was founded in 1993 and is approved by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Cyprus. Our school traditionally welcomes migrant children from Eastern European countries, mainly from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The school follows the curriculum of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, with emphasis on the English language, as English is taught on a daily basis. Greek is also taught twice a week. Since the 2014-2015 academic year, Mathematics is also taught in English, giving the opportunity for students to get acquainted with English mathematical terminology as well as to prepare for the International GCSE exams. Our teaching personnel is carefully selected to match the standards of the education we want to provide our students with. We have Russian and English native-speaking teachers, bilingual teachers as well as Greek native speaking teachers to guarantee the best possible results. Our teaching staff is highly qualified and experienced.
