Purpose

KSR (Key Stages of Russian) is the academic standard for Russian-language education of bilingual children aged 5–16 learning outside Russian-speaking countries. It defines what is taught, how it is assessed, and how it is certified.

Key stages & CEFR

KSR-1 (ages 5–7, A1) · KSR-2 (7–11, A2) · KSR-3 (11–14, B1) · KSR-4 (14–16, B2). Each stage has defined entry and exit criteria forming a continuous A1→B2 pathway.

Structure

Each stage is a curriculum → units → lessons → activities. Every lesson is aligned to KSR competency outcomes (can-do statements) and a CEFR band, and covers speaking, listening, reading, writing and grammar.

Lesson definition of done

A lesson is publishable only with ≥2 formative activities, explicit cross-lesson scaffolding, validated outcome + CEFR alignment, and a captured methodist review.
