About
The NRCSA Center in St. Petersburg was founded in 1992 as a private organization teaching Russian to foreigners, and was recognized by the local St. Petersburg government as a private language training institute in 1995. Programs are offered year-round. The facilities are open to all students and include ten modern classrooms, a self-access center, and cafeteria. The teaching environment is friendly, and student and local staff easily socialize both inside and outside the classroom. Students will be taught by their teachers, and guest lecturers from world class academic institutions (ie St. Petersburg State University) often augment the teaching. The NRCSA Center was also the first in Russia to attract substantial attention from the corporate sector. Among their clients are PWC, Credit Suisse, the EBRD, Scotland Yard, British Airways, the UNHCR and the International Committee of the Red Cross, to name just a few.
