For parents
Learn alongside your child: programmes for everyday life, work, careers or an international exam — with a family discount for the second student.
Better together
Choose a payment period that suits you and enjoy the other benefits alongside your learning. The terms are the same for every course at the school.
CEFR levels
All IH courses follow CEFR levels, the international standard for language proficiency. Choose a level below to understand what your child can do at each stage.
The child knows only a few words or does not know the language at all. The first successful step is understanding simple greetings and naming objects around them.

Level test
A short online test or a chat with our methodologist: we determine the exact CEFR level and recommend a group where your child will enjoy learning. A free trial lesson comes as a gift.
CEFR levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 — we show where your child is now.

Time to change the approach
Most parents who come to us are already tired of ineffective methods. We have created an environment where children really start speaking.
An excellent pupil at school who knows all the tenses, but gets lost and blushes when a foreigner asks a question. Money and time have been spent, but most importantly, confidence has not grown. “I pay for knowledge, but my child is afraid to open their mouth.”
Method
International House methodology has stood the test of time in 45+ countries. We focus on what matters most — the ability to communicate.
We do not translate texts or learn rules by heart. Children spend 80% of the lesson communicating in English — with the teacher, in pairs and in small groups. Go Getter, Prepare, High Note and other authentic Cambridge and Pearson materials.
All teachers go through a rigorous selection process and hold CELTA or IHCYLT — international certificates specifically for teaching children. IH Kyiv is one of 315 official Cambridge teacher-training centres worldwide.
Our native speakers are certified teachers (DELTA/CELTA) with many years of experience. They join the programme at A2+/B1, when children are ready for real communication.
There are up to 8–10 pupils in a group. The teacher has time to speak with everyone. Children cannot sit back — they actively take part in every task, discussion and game.
We make sure nothing gets in the way of your child’s development. The school has modern fibre-optic internet and additional power supplies. In case of air-raid alerts, we also have a modern equipped shelter.
Teachers
Only certified teachers — CELTA, DELTA, IHCYLT. Each one has passed IH World selection and annual professional development.
