Pushkin Academy of Russian Heritage

At Pushkin Academy of Russian Heritage we offer a supplemental Russian language program for preschool-age and school-age children. We offer a nurturing monolingual environment where children develop Russian language fluency and emergent literacy skills. We work with each child, paying attention to their emotional and cognitive development while respecting their individual needs. We offer small class sizes and high teacher to student ratio. We work with reflective and dedicated teachers who are committed to ongoing training and professional development. Program exposes children to classical and contemporary Russian literature. Children study masterpieces of Russian literature, learn about the lives of the authors and historical context of their works. Children discuss and analyze texts, understand central characters, plot, and overarching themes. They are asked to think critically and respond to texts in oral, written, and dramatic form to deepen their comprehension. Children study Russian language and grammar to help them gain a stronger command of Russian written language.
