From a language centre to online courses
Pygmalion Language Centre was founded in Latvia in 2003. Over 23 years it has built a strong team of teachers, an approach of its own and a reputation that students and their families trust.
Pygmalion Academy grew out of that centre - an online programme for children from Russian-speaking families abroad.
The method: language through literature
Culture is the content. Language and thinking are what grow with it.
We read real books and discuss them with the children. A child argues about the characters, looks for exact words, writes texts of their own - and step by step builds language, thinking and the ability to express their ideas. Grammar appears where it is genuinely needed - to say more precisely what you want to say.
- Small groups where everyone speaks
- Lessons are led by qualified philologists and native speakers of Russian
- The programme is built for bilinguals and takes the surrounding language into account
- Online lessons in Zoom
Our teachers
With a love of children, of books and of the Russian language - our teachers help a child come to love Russian and feel confident in it.

When a child is interested in what a book is about, the language barrier simply disappears.

I teach because dialogue makes a person free.

The more languages a person knows, the brighter and fuller their life becomes.
