Why Choose PSI - Pechersk School International (PSI Kyiv)

WHY CHOOSE PSI?

Choosing a school is one of the biggest decisions a family makes. You want a place where your child will be academically challenged, but more importantly, you want a place where they will be known, supported, and safe.

Since 1995, PSI has been exactly that: a close-knit, diverse community founded by parents, for parents. We are proud to be an IB World School, but we are even prouder of the joyful, resilient, and inclusive community we have built together. At PSI, your family doesn't just join a school; you join a community where you truly belong.

A True Community

PSI is intentionally sized so that every child is known by name.

With a student-to-teacher ratio of 3:1, our educators truly understand how your child learns best.

Our teachers, leadership, and active Parent Teacher Association (PTA) work closely together. Whether it is through morning coffees with the Director, student-led conferences, or vibrant international festivals, families are invited to be active partners in their child's education every step of the way.

Joyful Learning & Proven Academic Excellence

We do not just teach students to memorise facts for tests.

Using the internationally respected IB framework, we teach children how to think, research, and solve real-world problems.

From their first days of guided play to their final research essays, our students learn to be curious, independent, and confident in their own voices.

Safe, Resilient, and Uninterrupted

Student safety and well-being are our highest priorities.

Located in the green Holosiivskyi district near the national park, our modern campus features dedicated, fully equipped learning shelters that ensure education and play continue calmly and seamlessly, no matter what is happening outside.

We also prioritize physical and mental health through our comprehensive Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) programmes and our outdoor play zones, taking full advantage of our beautiful surroundings.
