PSI is the only school in Ukraine to be accredited in three International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes.

Pechersk School International is the only international school in Ukraine with approval from the Ukrainian School of External Studies to offer an additional general education programme accepted by the Ministry of Education of Ukraine. Students study a combination of classes offered by Ukrainian programme teachers and IB classes which are accepted by the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science.

Russian invasion of Ukraine

Due to the war in Ukraine, the 2022 – 2023 academic year will find PSI providing in-person instruction to its students at a satellite campus in Warsaw, Poland [4] as well as online instruction for its students living abroad. PSI will resume operations at its campus in Kyiv one the situation will allow its safe re-opening.

Satellite campus in Warsaw

In August 2022, PSI is going to open a new temporary satellite campus in Warsaw in partnership with the American School of Warsaw (ASW). This will provide many opportunities for students to interact with ASW students, and to benefit from the ASW co-curricular programmes, service learning opportunities, student events, such as dances etc that PSI has always run in the past. The IB Diploma Programme students, in addition to face-to-face learning, will also have enhanced access to Pamoja courses, a recognised course provider by the International Baccalaureate, meaning that a rich variety of IB DP courses will be available to them.
