NovaMova collaborates with higher educational institutions around the globe and the school also welcomes individual students who need to know the Russian language for their work, education, government service or pleasure. Our time-proven teaching approach and methodology only expands and improves with time.
In 2019 NovaMova International Language School in Kyiv was inspected by Eaquals (Evaluation and Accreditation of Quality Language Services) and re-confirmed as an accredited member of Association.
To power your newly acquired knowledge in class you can have an individual lesson with a teacher or have a great peer-coaching session. The one-on-one Language Tandem methodology is real-world tested and lets you bring what was learned in class to real-time situations. The peer-coach will correct your language if necessary and perhaps can give you alternative routes to express your mind. NovaMova also keeps great Russian-speaking hosting families for our students. You will get to know warm and generous people who know how to cook and who know how to involve you in conversations.

Golden Gate
We normally start our Excursion Program with the walking tour of the city center right at the doorstep of NovaMova. This is the historical area full of traces of the distant path. This is where our most important historical ruler Yaroslav the Wise built the Golden Gate of Kyiv and the St. Sophia Cathedral back in the early 11th century.
The street where our students walk daily once was a part of Yaroslav’s Barrier Wall that shielded the city from nomadic tribes. This Wall was connected to the Golden Gate which serves today as a museum and an area for public events. The monument of Yaroslav the Wise is located next to the Gate in a cosy park, a favourite spot of buskers, lovers of book-crossing and street coffee.
St. Sophia Cathedral
Continuing along, we reach Kyiv’s most important historical landmark - St. Sophia Cathedral. You will learn that it was named after the Holy Wisdom rather than a certain saint as the idea was to build the church in the image of Hagia Sophia cathedral in Constantinople (now Istanbul), the cradle of the Orthodox Church. It’s the burial site of Yaroslav the Wise, a father to Queen Anne of France.
Today the cathedral is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and it stands as a secular museum of Ukrainian Christianity and history. It carries magnificent original mosaics and frescos from the 11th century that attracts tourists and scholars from around the world.
Street Markets and Parks
To the north-east of St. Sophia Cathedral we will come to St Michael square with an eponymous cathedral also called the Golden Domed, and you will quickly find out why. It was also built in the middle ages and then destroyed during the early years of communist rule. It sits on a bluff with an old park and a beautiful bird-eye view of the river, islands, and the remaining city with the neighbouring towns and villages.
From there you can descend on Kyiv’s cable tram also known as funicular that was built in 1905 and runs to the present day or you can walk to St. Andrew Descent with a beautiful baroque church on top of it. It’s a favourite street of all Kyivits. It’s famous for its art and souvenir market, stylish cafes and restaurants, theatre and museums.
Mikhail Bulgakov a famous local writer who authored Master and Margarita lived in house #13. Today it’s one of the world’s top literary museum dedicated to Bulgakov and his heritage. The cobble-stoned street will take you down to Podol area where the time seems to stand still.
Formed about a thousand years ago and located on the beautiful slopes Lavra initially served as a hiding place for first Christians who fled there to find refuge from persecution. They lived in caves where they had their own cells and even temples that you can visit today.
Later the fame of the monastery reached far beyond the state borders and the missionaries from Greece and Constantinople were seeking to join their brethren in the caves and with the adoption of Christianity helped them to develop a monastery that quickly grew into the worshipping center for all of the Orthodox world.
Today lavra is included into the UNESCO’s World Heritage list as a place of great historical significance. The monastery welcomes visitors of any belief and walk of life and invites you to observe the ancient catacombs, temples and museums.
Apart from religious sites you will be able to attend the Museum of Book Printing, Museum of Decorative Art of Ukraine, Museum of Cinema, Museum of Treasures that displays truly unique jewellery made by early nations that populated the area of modern Ukraine long before forming Rus of Kyiv. Also, you will be able to visit one of a kind Museum of Miniatures.
You can often meet the author himself as Mykola loves to come and talk to the visitors. It is undeniably most curious and fascinating museum of microminiatures in the world!
The graphic exposition will guide you step by step to the big picture of the calamity and to answers to all your questions. Perhaps! As there is still no unanimous concord on what really caused it!

The monumental statue is the Motherland, a 62-meter-high statue of a woman holding a shield and a sword in her hands. This monument is 15th tallest monument in the world.
Inside the pedestal you will find the main exposition which contains 14 connected halls each dedicated to every stage of the war. You will see a lot of documents of war, photos and real-life installations that will bring you a fuller knowledge of that not so distant war that changed the world order things which once seemed so solid, however, presently is facing a risky challenge. In times it is an emotional experience to be in the museum as war is a heavy thing.
The museum does a good job keeping the balance between how you should feel and what you should know. It’s giving you facts that you can fill in your own puzzle and have your opinion.
