Welcome from the Chairman and Founder

Welcome to Orbital Education. This website will introduce you to the Group as a whole and provide summary information, but, more importantly, links to our schools.
Although Orbital is a relatively new company, the expertise behind it is of long standing. I have personally founded international schools in more than a dozen countries.

Since Orbital was founded in 2005, the group has grown fast and in keeping with the plan I formulated. I envisaged a group of international schools and colleges offering quality education, mainly in British style and tradition, to expatriate and host families in countries throughout the world. Some of our schools were acquired from former owners and educationalists; some we founded ourselves. To date, we operate in Russia, Spain, Hungary and South Korea.

The schools benefit from the central services and supervision that an experienced team of educationalists and managers provides. My team here at our head office near Manchester are united in the belief we share with our school heads: quality and accountability are paramount and lead to success for our students, security for their families and material progress for the company.

At last! A British owned, British managed and British staffed school for the expatriate and Russian families in the west of the city.

‘I am pleased that we have opened a new campus in the West of Moscow. The city is so big that one school location is not able to cater for such a widely dispersed constituency of international families.’ Said Chairman, Kevin McNeany.
