Russian Church Children's Center in Washington, DC

To serve you better we decided to make some educational materials we use in classes available to you on-line. Those are the Russian Language Class books required for your children in classes. All other class school materials are to be obtained through direct contact with your class instructor.

Every child MUST have required work-book(s) with her/him every Saturday. We will not have extra book set in case you forget to take one with you. Please, before you go to Russian School, make sure you take all required work books with you to school.

Download all the required study materials, print them, bind them and bring with you to the school.

If you cannot download, open archive, view and/or print them or ... if you have any questions, please, contact Alex at 202-491-5056.
