Russian Embassy School in Berlin

The school attached to the Russian Embassy at Unter den Linden 63-65 in Mitte, serving the children of Russian diplomatic staff. Russian curriculum, Russian-language instruction, secondary level included.

This is an embassy school in the diplomatic sense, not an international school in the parent-choice sense. Admission is tied to staff status at the embassy or related Russian state institutions; it is not a school families on the local circuit shortlist. There is essentially no public parent voice and no fee schedule, by design.

Following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, German-Russian diplomatic relations have been cut back sharply, with multiple rounds of staff expulsions in 2022 and 2023. That has reduced the embassy footprint and, in turn, the school community. For families considering Berlin, this listing is informational only. The relevant Russian-speaking options for non-diplomatic families are private bilingual or Saturday schools rather than the embassy school itself.
