The comparison in this interview
The publisher presents Lilia’s account of English and Russian schools in Cyprus. Its description introduces a change of school, concerns about teaching and communication with parents, friendships, activities and the atmosphere she experienced. These are attributed views and experiences, rather than findings about every English or Russian school.
The video was uploaded on 25 April 2025 and runs 27 minutes 2 seconds.
Fees discussed in the video
The publisher’s description mentions EUR 400 a month for a Russian school and EUR 650–900 a month in the fee discussion, then raises the question of included languages, clubs, sport and meals. These are historical examples in the 2025 interview, rather than current fees for a named school or annual market-wide price bands.

Questions for your own decision
Visit your shortlisted schools and discuss the child’s needs. Ask about teaching language, curriculum, qualifications, language support, safeguarding, communication with parents, activities and the complete cost.
Compare the arrangements actually offered to your child, rather than choosing solely by the school’s language label. For further planning, see our international schools guide, school comparison and moving guide.
