About CEAL
The Center of European and Asian Languages (CEAL) was founded in November 2020, based on the School of the Center of Pedagogical Proficiency.
At the outset, we launched foreign language courses, brought in top teachers, Russian Unified State Exam’s experts, and collaborated with our international colleagues. A great deal of support came from the coaching staff of Moscow teams at All-Russian Schoolchildren Olympiads, which is why our teaching philosophy is closely linked to Olympiad training. But we did not stop there…
Today, the CEAL has evolved into a unique educational platform, implementing bold, promising, and successful projects — from professional development courses for teachers to internships for schoolchildren in Asian and African countries.
During our time of operation, we have published over 10 foreign language textbooks, trained more than 400 students, many of whom have become prizewinners and winners in foreign language competitions, and developed 4 large-scale educational projects!
And there is more to come! We are constantly creating new programs, exciting routes, and thrilling trips for you!

The study of foreign languages and cultures provides the key to understanding the diverse ways of thinking across different peoples. Our goal is to help schoolchildren find this key and unlock a world full of opportunities and perspectives. Through communication with our international friends, we come to recognize the unique aspects of our own culture and gain a deeper understanding of foreign language realities.
Consistent study of a foreign language, combined with intensive internships abroad, brings us closer to the culture and traditions of other nations, helping to build meaningful connections and become true mediators of languages and cultures.

We assist schoolchildren not only in improving their language skills but also in becoming winners and prizewinners of All-Russian and international foreign language Olympiads!
