In addition to our EFL courses, we also specialize in Russian and Kyrgyz language courses for students from abroad, as well as custom-designed summer cultural trips and language immersion programs. Our staff consists of about fifty employees, of whom around thirty are local staff, teaching Russian and Kyrgyz to students from abroad and English to Beginner and Elementary level students.
