How it works
From a school joining the KSR (Key Stages of Russian) network to a verified certificate — one chain of trust.

A recommended KSR stage and your child's per-skill profile.
3. Choose a school
Accredited schools matched to the level and format.
4. Start learning
The school's methodist confirms the stage — and your child begins.

On completion — a recognised KSR certificate with an indicative CEFR.
