Sochi's schools expand with new buildings and 3,400 extra places by 2025

Sochi has completed major upgrades to its educational infrastructure, with new schools and renovated facilities now ready for students. The city is also preparing for a surge in enrolments, as applications for first graders in 2026 have already begun. These developments form part of a broader effort to improve learning conditions and support children's growth. Renovations at Gymnasium No. 6 in Sochi have now finished, marking one of several recent improvements to local schools. Meanwhile, a new building for School No. 26 has opened its doors, adding to the city's expanding educational network.

A primary school wing is also under construction in the village of Gornoye Loo. This project falls under the Youth and Children national initiative, which aims to enhance learning spaces across the region.

Looking ahead, four more schools are set to open in Sochi by 2025. These additions will create nearly 3,400 extra places for pupils. The city expects around 6,500 students to enrol for the 2026 academic year, with applications for first graders already being accepted.

Officials have emphasised that the expansion focuses on two key goals: providing comfortable learning environments and fostering the all-round development of children in Sochi. The latest upgrades and new constructions will increase capacity and modernise facilities in Sochi's schools. With more places available and enrolments rising, the city is preparing to accommodate a growing number of students in the coming years. The changes align with ongoing efforts to improve educational standards and support young learners.
