Message from the School Director
To all our families – whether new to Pechersk School International or long-standing members of our community – I extend my heartfelt welcome.
Since our founding in 1995, PSI has always been more than just a school. In recent years, as Ukraine has faced immense hardship, we have stood strong together – as educators, parents, students, and friends – united by purpose, resilience, and hope. In the face of war, our community has not only endured but evolved. We’ve grown in strength, in compassion, and in the belief that education must serve as a force for good.
Your hopes for your children – for their safety, happiness, growth, and fulfilment – are our hopes too. At PSI, we nurture more than academic excellence. We cultivate belonging, empathy, and leadership. Our learners are empowered to ask questions, seek meaning, and dream big – even in uncertain times.
We are proud of how our community continues to grow, not only in numbers but in spirit. Each new family strengthens our shared vision for a kinder, more just world – and reminds us that we are never alone in this journey.
Thank you for choosing PSI. Thank you for becoming part of our story. Together, we will continue to build a place where we all truly belong.

Lunch Orders
M’Andryk Food will provide not only delicious meals for your children but also a comfortable and caring environment, where every mealtime becomes part of building healthy daily habits.
Your children will be able to visit two dining areas on campus:
- We Belong Café – offering breakfasts, snacks, drinks, and light bites.
- Cafeteria – serving full buffet-style lunches. Each day, we will offer three varieties of each lunch component (main course, side dish, salad, dessert), so children can choose the dishes they enjoy most.
Bus Service
Please complete this form if you would like to use the school bus service next school year, 2025-2026.
