Children in a preschool group are taught to read through a unique methodology, thanks to which they master not only the basics, but also speed reading. At the same time, kids are prepared for further education in general: they are taught to work in a team and independently, develop their skills of memory, attention, critical thinking, form erudition, views on the world around them, future life and career.

Children study mathematics not in the format of simple counting, but at a more professional level, including algorithmics and even robotics. In addition, their schedule includes sports activities, dancing, music and needlework lessons, fine arts, and modeling.

An important discipline is the English theater, in which all students participate: they prepare performances for both internal events and competitions at the Russian and international levels.

In the learning process, they use such world practices as:

• Maria Montessori's method,
• Mental arithmetic,
• Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ),
• Method of Lyudmila Georgievna Peterson.

The very first student of "Vzmah" turned 36 years old in 2025.

Meals are organized on the territory of the school three times a day, breakfast takes place immediately after the first lesson.  All dishes of the chefs of "Vzmah" are prepared directly at school, using only the freshest and healthiest ingredients and products in cooking. Taking care of the health and well-being of students is a priority for the school management.

Children and teenagers go on various excursions throughout the year, during which they develop their horizons and personal skills. Trips take place both on the territory of Russia and abroad. During excursions, children learn not only to listen carefully to the guides, but also to independently study the area, navigate it, read maps and find the necessary information.

• Vzmah is one of the few private schools that has the status of an institution with an in-depth English course. Here, children master the basic language level, then move on to the specialized level and prepare for international testing. The key advantage of the school is that it is a certified location where it is allowed to conduct the Cambridge exam with the award of certificates.
• Students' interest and passion for foreign languages are developed from toddlerhood, then children continue to delve into the basics of English at the primary school stage, teenagers master it at the profile level in high school. At all stages, English is studied not only in classrooms, but also outside of them: in a foreign language, children, together with teachers, stage theatrical performances, hold debates, write essays. The educational staff does everything to make English a part of the everyday life of students.
• Educational process here is of high quality, gymnasium level, but at the same time children are not overloaded: they have time to pass basic disciplines, learn 2 foreign languages, participate in Olympiads, relax and communicate with friends in their free time.
• Teachers use unique methods, some of which combine traditional and popular educational formats, while others are developed by employees independently. For example, a separate author's method was created in order to teach children to read by the age of five.
• For the little ones, comfortable and safe atmosphere is created on the territory of the school: they are not afraid to ask questions, make mistakes and try to solve tasks again and again. International students are surrounded by adult mentors who can be trusted 100%, mutual respect reigns at school.
• Children are prepared for high school from the first year of study: children immediately learn to communicate with several teachers, and not only with one class teacher.
• You can pay for the child's education with the help of maternity capital.
