Schools

There are a very few schools in Scotland, primary or secondary, which offer Russian as a curricular or extracurricular subject.  Some of these have clubs, some are considering Russian as their L3, some offer SQA Languages for Life and Work qualifications, and some offer GCSE / A level Russian.  

Students and parents  - Please contact us for information on schools in your area or advice on alternative ways of studying Russian.
Teachers and schools - If you are considering setting up a Russian class at any level, primary or secondary, please let us know!  We'd be happy to put you in touch with others and (if we can) give advice on materials etc.
