Hi there

Unfortunately there are no Russian-speaking schools in South Africa. The first thing I would do is to contact the Ukrainian and Russian embassies to see if they have any suggestions.

I would highly recommend you try and get your child speaking English as soon as possible, especially if you intend on staying in the country for a while.

You will, however, be happy to know that there is a fairly large Eastern European community in the country, which might be a source of support for you.

In the meantime, homeschooling is a possibility in South Africa, and might be worth investigating. Have a look at our Education and Schools in South Africa page for a bit more.

Good luck!
