Parents in Samara are increasingly questioning whether regular schools provide everything a child needs for the future. Overcrowded classrooms, homework until late at night, and a curriculum that often lacks time for individual attention are driving them to seek alternatives. This is why interest in private education is noticeably growing in the city. More and more families are choosing a format that focuses not only on grades but also on real skills and the child«s comfort.

In small groups, children receive comprehensive development.

One example of this approach in Samara is TOP IT SCHOOL. It is a modern private school whose curriculum complies with federal state educational standards and is supplemented with in-depth study of IT and English.

A balance of study, creativity, and rest is maintained.

Here, children study in small classes, receive more attention from teachers, and master modern disciplines that are either absent from the standard curriculum or taught superficially. The absence of homework also plays a key role—everything needed to reinforce the material is done at school. At the same time, there is serious preparation for academic exams, and early career guidance begins—from childhood, children are helped to understand what truly interests them.

There is an opportunity to express oneself from different angles and find support from teachers and like-minded people.

The school is part of the large federal educational network «Academy TOP,» which has been operating in the field of education for children and adults for many years. Based on the network, centers for additional education, IT colleges, an IT university, and a language academy are developed, and interregional and international children«s camps are also held.

Currently, TOP IT SCHOOL is open for enrollment for the 2026/2027 academic year. The school accepts children:

into primary grades from 1st to 4th;
into middle grades — from 5th to 9th;
into preparatory groups for children aged 5 to 7 years.

This format allows for building a continuous educational trajectory and selecting the optimal start for learning based on the child«s age and preparation level.

One of the key areas of study is information technology. Children learn to create mobile applications, games, engage in 3D modeling, robotics, web development, design, as well as photo and video projects. Through constant practice under the guidance of teachers with real experience in IT, children can clearly see how technology is applied in various professions and understand if this field interests them.

No less attention is paid to the English language. Classes are held daily and are built around practice and live communication. The school operates a Speaking Club and an English Drama theater studio, which help children overcome the language barrier and feel confident in communication. Gradually, English becomes not a subject «for the sake of it,» but a working tool.

In addition to academic knowledge, the school develops soft skills—so-called «soft» skills, without which it is hard to imagine a successful person today. Children learn to work in teams, express their thoughts, develop emotional intelligence, critical thinking, leadership qualities, and the basics of financial literacy. All this helps them feel confident and adapt more easily in any environment.

The educational process is structured so that the child is comfortable. Classes are small—up to 16 people. Throughout the day, breaks for rest and balanced three-meal nutrition are provided, with menus tailored to the children«s age. Parents regularly receive feedback on their child»s progress and successes in each subject.

Special attention is paid to the psychological climate. At TOP IT SCHOOL, there are teacher-psychologists who help create a safe and supportive environment without bullying. In such an atmosphere, it is easier for children to reveal their abilities, learn to interact with others, and not be afraid of mistakes.

To enroll in the school, a child must pass an entrance test and interview. And for parents who want to see everything firsthand and ask questions directly, on January 24 at 12:00 the school will host an open day (6+). At the meeting, they will talk about the program, learning format, and admission conditions, as well as help understand if such a format is suitable for your child.

The number of spots for the 2026/2027 academic year is limited, so the school recommends getting acquainted with the format in advance and making an informed decision.
