High school, grades 10–11

The four entrance exam groups, six extra hours a week in profile subjects, a mock exam every month.

Grade 11 students listening to the teacher in class

In grade 10 each student chooses one of the four groups of the state university entrance exam, and those subjects get six extra hours a week. Groups run with 8 to 16 students; if fewer than eight choose a group, its subjects are taught on an individual timetable.

Exam preparation happens at school, so families don’t have to hire tutors: profile lessons, a monthly mock exam in the state format (out of 700) and a one-to-one review with the teacher after each mock are all on the timetable.

At the end of grade 11 students sit the final exam (300 points) and the entrance exam (400 points). In 2026 our 49 graduates averaged 536, and 12 of them scored over 600.
