What Novopecherska School does

Novopecherska School (Новопечерська школа) is a private K-12 educational institution headquartered in Kyiv, Ukraine, founded in April 2014 and operating from a single campus at Verhoglyada Andriy Street, 9-B. It delivers full-day in-person education (9:00-18:00) from preschool preparation (KDP, ages 4-5) through Grade 11, combining Ukrainian state curriculum standards with international pedagogical methodologies developed alongside specialists from Canada, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The school serves Ukrainian families seeking premium bilingual education with native English-speaking instruction, and offers three learning formats — in-person live, distance learning, and externship — for grades 1-11.

The school's core products are organized around a multi-tier curriculum: Preschool Preparation, Primary School (grades 1-4), Secondary and High School (grades 5-11), and the flagship Ukrainian-Canadian Blended Program for grades 8-11, which awards the Manitoba High School Diploma through an exclusive licensing agreement with the Manitoba Ministry of Education — making Novopecherska the first institution in Ukraine authorized to issue this credential. Supporting programs include the Leader in Me curriculum (adapted from Stephen R. Covey's Seven Habits framework, first implemented in Ukraine by this school), the 21st Century Skills framework, a Career Guidance program with internships, and inclusive education support classes for children with special educational needs (ages 6-9). Technology infrastructure centers on the School Today Learning Management System, providing real-time class schedules, homework, academic progress tracking, and dining menus to students, parents, and staff via corporate @novoshkola.com.ua accounts, with each student provisioned a personal tablet maintained by the school's IT department.

The revenue model is a subscription-based tuition structure priced in USD and payable in Ukrainian Hryvnia at JSC Oschadbank's selling exchange rate, billed semester-based (first semester by May 15, second semester by November 30). In-person tuition ranges from $11,000 to $13,750 per academic year depending on grade level; distance learning is priced at $650-$850 per semester; the Manitoba Blended Program is a $2,250 annual add-on with a $400 non-refundable registration fee. A 5% sibling discount and 10% discount for Ukrainian Armed Forces participants with combat veteran ID are offered. The go-to-market is direct-enrollment, sales-led: families complete an enrollment questionnaire on the School Today CRM portal, attend open house Days of Open Doors, participate in family interviews and child assessments, and sign a public offer contract. Marketing is primarily referral-driven through existing parent networks, complemented by the school's website (novoshkola.com.ua), social media presence (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram), and annual published reviews. The school is registered as TOV "Novopecherska Shkola — Litsei I-III Rivniv" (EDRPOU 39157674) and operates as a flagship project of the OSVITORIA Non-Profit Public Association.
