Phuket · children aged 2–11
An English programme and a Russian one — in one school
Kinderville Nova is a kindergarten and primary school in Phuket for children aged 2 to 11. The school holds an international school licence from the Thai Ministry of Education: the programme is British and aligned with Cambridge standards. The kindergarten has its own childcare licence.
Alongside the British programme we run a Russian one — not "language support", but a second system inside the school: Peterson mathematics, Russian language, literature and science. We keep both roads open — into English-language secondary school and into Russian.
Admissions 2026/27. A new Preschool group has opened in the kindergarten; main intake is into Year 2 and Year 3, other classes have a few places. Which class fits which age → Admissions.
School life
The school menu has a "Tutti-frutti" pie
The children invented it in cooking — the school kitchen workshop. Their task was to propose a dish the kitchen would put on the menu: they compared recipes by cost and cooking time, then baked and brought the results to the canteen for a tasting. The older children's winner was a blueberry and mango pie, the younger ones' — lazy vareniki (cottage cheese dumplings). The kitchen now cooks both.
2 dishes invented by the children — the kitchen cooks both.

How things work here
Circle and reading
The day opens with a circle and fifteen minutes of reading — every day, on both programmes.
Homework at school
In Year 3–6 children do their homework at school, during the day. It is the child's responsibility — the evening at home stays with the family. On the Light programme part of the English homework goes home — here is why.
Class curator
A curator leads the class all year. Once a week parents receive a review of the week: what the class lived through and studied.
Our own kitchen
Meals come from our own kitchen: four times a day at school, five in the kindergarten. The kindergarten also has a pool with a children's coach.
Two campuses
The kindergarten and Year 1 are in Rawai, the school (Year 2–6) is in Chalong. A school shuttle runs between them in the morning and evening.
