Frequently Asked Questions

Enrolment and education documents

Does the school hold a licence?

Dzherelo holds perpetual licences to carry out educational activity. Confirm current licence details with the admissions office.

What education documents does a pupil receive?

A pupil receives a document of primary education after Grade 4, a document of basic secondary education after Grade 9, and a document of complete general secondary education after Grade 11.

Can I enrol remotely?

Yes. The admissions office can work with families remotely if they cannot visit the school office.

Can a pupil join during the school year?

Yes. Pupils are accepted not only before 1 September. Before enrolment, the admissions office reviews previous-study documents and explains how the pupil can continue the programme.

How do I transfer a child from another school?

First, submit an application to Dzherelo and agree the document list with the admissions office for the relevant grade. Once admission is confirmed, the school explains the transfer of the school record and previous learning results. The process can be completed remotely.

Fees and study formats

How much does online school cost?

In the 2026–2027 academic year, fees start at UAH 1,400 per month for External Studies Basic and UAH 2,000 per month for Student formats. The exact amount depends on grade and format. Check the current price table before making a decision.

Are discounts available?

Annual-payment and documentary discounts are available for eligible families. Contact the admissions office to confirm the current rules and required documents.

What is external studies, and who is it for?

External studies is an individual form of education in which a pupil works through the programme independently while the school organises assessment and records the results. Dzherelo’s corresponding format is called External Studies Basic. Whether a pupil can complete one or more grades in an academic year depends on their circumstances and documents, so confirm this with admissions.

What is the difference between Student Light, Student Basic, Student Extra and Student Profile?

They differ in the quantity of live online lessons, the range of learning materials and the required work checked by teachers. Student Light is mostly independent. Student Basic adds more materials and regular online lessons. Student Extra uses a weekly timetable for Grades 1–9. Student Profile offers advanced work in selected subjects for Grades 10–11.

Every format follows the school’s education programme, but their day-to-day organisation is different.

Learning online

Is there a timetable?

Yes. A weekly timetable is available in the student account from 1 September. It is a recommended rhythm: some pupils work through the programme to the timetable, while others cover several lessons in one subject on the same day. Key deadlines depend on the selected format and include the end of each semester and the school year.

Are there live online lessons with teachers?

Yes, but the frequency depends on the format. Student Light includes a monthly online subject review. Student Basic includes two online lessons in each subject per month for grades 5–11; grades 1–4 have a monthly subject review. Student Extra has scheduled live lessons: Grades 1–4 have two or three per weekday, while Grades 5–9 have three per day from Monday to Thursday. Student Profile for Grades 10–11 has weekly profile lessons in groups of up to 10 pupils.

What is the student account?

The student account combines internal messaging, course access and assessment tools. It is the place for communication with teachers, online meetings, learning materials, tests, written assignments, assessment and the generation of school records.

Is there a separate parent account?

Yes. The parent and student accounts are separated. The parent account can contain records such as the report card, consolidated performance journal and school agreement, while the student account is used for the pupil’s learning process.

What equipment does a pupil need?

Recommended equipment includes a computer, internet access and basic stationery. A phone can be used, but a laptop with a screen of 15.6 inches or larger is more comfortable for tasks such as working with maps.

What happens during air-raid alerts or power cuts?

Learning materials and tasks remain available in the personal account, so pupils can return to independent work once electricity and internet are restored. The procedure during a live lesson depends on the situation and safety rules.

Pupils abroad and NMT

Can a child study while living abroad?

Yes. Materials are available online and a format can be selected with the local school, time zone and desired amount of live teaching in mind. Contact admissions to discuss the child’s workload and situation.

Does the school prepare pupils for the NMT?

Student Profile for Grades 10–11 includes advanced study in selected subjects and NMT preparation in groups of up to 10 pupils. The school also offers separate NMT-preparation courses in Ukrainian language, mathematics, history, English and other subjects. Confirm the current course list and terms with the admissions office.

Can a pupil change formats during the year?

This may be possible when circumstances change, such as moving, a training schedule, returning to Ukraine or a change in workload. The conditions are agreed individually with the admissions office.
