Nasha Shkola, K-8 Russian-American Charter School 6717 85th Avenue North, Brooklyn Park, MN 55445

"My daughter attended this school for 4th grade and improved her Russian. Her math skills improved greatly and the smaller classes offered her a more personalized education. I would recommend this school to anyone and let them know it is like a private education without the private education tuition. Thank you for all the effort the teachers put in daily, my daughter and I are grateful!"

"I am a teacher at the school so I may be biased but I enjoy teaching here. The kids are awesome and the teachers work hard."

"Great school, my kids have been going to Nasha Shkola since they opened for 3 years going on 4. This school had gone through some changes but every year we see major improvements in many areas. My daughter went from not being able to read in Russian to reading paragraphs in a matter of couple of 2 months. Now my son is going to Nasha Shkola for 2 years now. I love the 1st day of school ceremony and New Year celebration with lots of Russian songs and presents. Good teachers. Keep up the good work."

"this school is a joke. Most of the kids there are baptists from Western Ukraine. They don't speak Russian or even care to know anything about Russian Culture. Also some Ukrainian kids are very aggressive and hateful towards Russians. Lunches at this school are not edible at all. The so-called "executive director" changes rules and schedules as he wishes or what's convinient to him. There is no physical education or sports activities are offered. Basically all the teachers except a couple of American teachers at that school do pretty much whatever they want. Math teacher may take up to two weeks to grade someones homework or a test! This school does not have a web or online access to see your child's current grades, so you have to personally talk with teachers about grades. I could go on and on. It was a very disappointing experience for us. Anyway the point is if you are interested in learning a Russian language find a better place to do it. I would not recommend this school to a friend or... anyone."

"A school for Russian, Ukrainian, Belorussian, etc. children. They have Russian, English, Singapore Math, Social Studies, Science, Music and Choir, Gym and Art. The directors are Eugene Kharam and Kirsten Kinzler. We are looking for volunteers."
