New 'School of the Future' in Kyiv introduces world-class education and global success

Kyiv, Ukraine, Nov. 1, 2021 – More than 700 international and local students in Kyiv will gain a premium education opportunity from September 2022 with the launch of a globally connected K-12 international school, Brookes CIL International School, in the Ukrainian capital.

The state-of-the-art facility will be centrally located in the heart of Kyiv, in outstanding premises with an area of 25,000 square meters. The architecturally unique building will be a hub for students to thrive across all subject areas.

The school will offer students full-access to modern, spacious classrooms, dining halls and cafés, two Makerspaces, professional sporting facilities, a performance hall, science labs, multiple IT suites, a cooking hub, music, podcast and editing studios, and specialist teaching environments which optimize learning with integrated technology.

Based on three continents, Brookes Education Group and Ukrainian education group CIL International in December 2020 signed a partnership agreement on opening the Brookes CIL International School. The new school will carry on the legacy of the global Brookes network, offering excellence in academics, global opportunities and expert educators who bring learning to life and challenge students to unlock their potential.

The Brookes CIL International School in Kyiv will be the Brookes Education Group's ninth leading center of education, joining sister schools in Canada, the United States, the UK, India, and South Korea.

Kevin Skeoch, Founding Head of School and Board Director at Brookes Education Group, said he was extremely proud and excited about the coming launch of the new school in Kyiv.

Brookes CIL International School is a centrally located, high-tech build with well qualified and experienced international teachers, bringing the highest educational standards, and with them, many opportunities for local and expatriate families.

We aim to develop a premium, next-generation, 3 to 18 years old international school, which will become the newest member of Brookes Education Group.

Brookes CIL International School is already a Candidate School* for the PYP, MYP and DP, and is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. Such schools share a common philosophy – a commitment to delivering a high quality, challenging, international education – the kind that CIL International believes will serve students throughout their lives.

A spokesperson for CIL International said the school would create an exceptional education environment for forging meaningful connections through student exchange across global campuses, fostering a community of forward-thinking global citizens.

Kevin Skeoch, an industry leader spearheading the development of IB World Schools, added that Brookes CIL International School in Kyiv will foster an inclusive, supportive and connected community to enrich student learning experiences.

The school will feature a distinctive, specialized education program, called "The Future Center," which offers one-on-one and small group support, delivering personalized learning and supplementary programs. The Future Center allows students to enhance special interests, strengthen areas of weakness, and improve overall skills, subjects or sports, as well as providing opportunities for gifted students to seek further learning opportunities.

Making a difference in education, Brookes CIL International School will inspire a passion for learning, support development of student character, and provide local and global opportunities to thrive at Brookes and beyond, Brookes Education Group and CIL International said.
