History In October 2002, after the Moscow theater hostage crisis, the school temporarily stopped operations to protect students who do not appear Russian from reprisals.
According to an opinion article by Vladimir Radyuhin in The Hindu, as of 2011, there were Indian and Indian-Russian families in Moscow who would otherwise send their children to KV Moscow who do not do so because it charges tuition and/or because of traffic issues making the travel time too long. Moscow government schools do not charge tuition and/or are in much closer proximity, and so are used by those families instead. - Opinion section.
Operations The Ministry of External Affairs (India) finances the school.
In 2012, the school had a five-day week while many of the KV schools in India at the time had six days.
