The United Kingdom has one of the best education systems in the world and to study at local schools and universities is very prestigious. At the same time, Cambridge and Oxford have their own educational programs for schools in other countries. British educators issue licenses for the most prestigious educational institutions, enabling graduates to enter the well -known university.
There are also schools in Ukraine that teach children under the British education system. One of the latest is Lviv British School, which, as you can guess from the name, is located in Lviv. But it turned out that the British license received the school after the official opening, its named founder is the ancient partner of the former ski instructor who was retrained from the teacher, and the "Krish" may be related to the family of Prime Minister Denis Shmigal.
About it writes Anticor.
The official website of Lviv British School states that the decision to establish the school was made in 2021. The establishment was opened on September 1, 2023. The founder of the school is declared Andrew Fox and the institution proposes education under the Ukrainian program with additional integration of British. Lviv British School licenses Cambridge International Education, which was only published in December 2023. That is, at least the first semester, children who started schooling from the day of its discovery, studied without British accreditation. Although the founders stated from the start of the campus construction of the campus.
Cambridge International Education licenses for foreign schools can be checked on the official website of the British program. And there Lviv British School is really present.
The first thing that fell into the eye to journalists who analyzed the school's activity in Lviv is the different writing of the founder. In the presentation on the school site, it is listed as "Andy Fox", but in the news there, for some reason, it becomes "Andrew Fox". For a school that positions itself as an English -language, a different transliteration of the name of the founder is unacceptable. After all, the native speakers are unlikely to "cover" the name of the British and the transcription will always be the same.
The full name of the founder of Lviv British School in English Andrew James Fawkes. It is clear that Andrew can shorten his first name to Andy, but the name FOOPS is unlikely to turn into Fox.
According to the Ukrainian registers, the private educational institution of education "Lviv British Skul" in Lviv was registered on August 21, 2023. That is, just 10 days before the first students began their studies. The authorized capital of the educational institution, which offers Ukrainian children "Best British education", is only UAH 10,000.
Interestingly, Andrew Fox became the founder of Lviv British School only in October 2023. The first founder was Anna Nikolaevna. According to the court register, this woman as of July 2024 worked as a lawyer at the private educational institution "Chernivtsi Lyceum Astor".
Astor's schools are well acquainted with Andrew Fox, because according to his page on LinkedIn's social network, he worked one of the directors from June 2023.
Among the founders of Lviv British School, in addition to Fox, is the company "International British Skul LTD", which owns 100% of the legal entity of the Lviv School. The British Register reports that this firm was registered in London in April 2023. One of its directors is the same Andrew Fox.
According to the company's report, as of April 30, 2024, its main assets were 5043 pounds, and in the bank account lay a little less than 11.5 thousand pounds.
Other owners of International British School Ltd lls Inter Education Ltd, which is registered at the same address. In August 2023, LVIV British School Ltd was also prescribed in the London Office. As you can guess, it is managed by Andrew Fox. According to the report of the firm from August 2023 to August 2024, it had a share capital of £ 100 and zero of hired workers.
The London Inter Education Ltd is also not alien to Andrew Fox, because on the page in LinkedIn it is listed as his main place of work. There is no word about Lviv British Skul, where he is an official founder. On the bank account as of September 2023, the Inter Education Ltd held 1528 pounds and another 6480 pounds.
The founder of Inter Education Ltd is a Ukrainian with British Residentiality Andrei Pillero Maddan.
At the same time, he is the director of Astor School, which has several branches in Ukraine and Europe.
It is a network of private institutions that has very controversial reviews from parents. Some of them make it clear that the flow of teaching staff in their schools is simply crazy and the level of education does not meet the stated standards. Moreover, the building of one of the branches, located on the territory of the Slavutich residential complex, was rebuilt with the absence of appropriate construction permits.
“Jacob's school with an English hip, a mentation of the Angles, 2 times in Neslia with an English with a carrier. Kakova was the same way that the lessons go through the lessons! Yes - cartoons! Native them just turns out the cartoon, but sitting))… The well -known school does not give, a young and a weak, administered garde, well, and of course, the head - the state of the rib! .. I do not recommend! Do not waste your dragoenic hours of your baby! Put a worthy school and a good school! ”, - writes one of the moms whose child studied at the Branch of the School of Astor.
About the founder of Astor school Andrei Pillero Maddan is known to be a former physical education teacher and the founder of several tourist companies that provided services at the Bukovel ski resort. In 2015, the entrepreneur was aimed at making Arbat Emirates from Kherson region. But, obviously, something went on plan and the former ski instructor was retrained to the educator and began to open private educational institutions.
Andrei Pillero's wife Maddan Maria is a lawyer and a women's defender. On his Instagram page, he offers "How to get away from Abuzer" and take a course "self -worth" for 390 UAH. The place of residence of Maria is indicated by Barcelona.
In 2018, the woman worked at the National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting. According to her declaration for the same year, her work was the only income of the family. And this is while her husband Andrei Pillero Maddan was already the founder of private schools and kindergartens. For some reason, his income in the declaration was hidden.
Analyzing links and documents, we can conclude that Andrei Pillero Maddan, together with Andrew Fox, is typical "pounds", which have recorded several private schools whose education does not meet the standards. Reviews about their educational praises speak for themselves. Their new project Lviv British School, despite the "beautiful wrapper" is obviously organized according to the old scheme using charitable contributions and without the transparent structure of the owners.
From the Model Agreement on the provision of services at Lviv British School managed to find out that the cost of training is 32 000 UAH per month. Plus 20,000 hryvnias of entrance fee and 199 pounds on a monthly study under the British Cambridge International Curriculum system. Payment is not made to the school account, but to the charity fund of the educational institution.
The fund is managed by the director of Lviv British School Olena Chernetska. Usually, this scheme with the involvement of charitable funds is used to minimize taxation. And obviously that is why the authorized capital of Lviv British Skul is only 10,000 hryvnias, which is even less than a month of study for one child in this educational institution.
According to sources, the Lviv British School School may be related to the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmigal's family. In particular, to his older daughter Anna. The girl has long been interested in the educational process, participated in numerous educational events, including with the participation of the former Ministry of Education Lilia Grinevich.
Is it possible that the Prime Minister's daughter is not aware of what to work in a school with questionable documents and educational levels? Unlikely. Sources claim that Anna Shmigal can be a real beneficiary of Lviv British School, and Andrew Pillero Maddan's persons, together with Andrew Fox, were used simply for eye distraction. It was not possible to confirm or refute this information, but at least the Prime Minister's daughter was signed on the school page on the social network.
