For years, American teachers at the Anglo-American School have arrived on diplomatic visas in diplomatic passports. “With a reduced number of teachers, school leadership may need to reallocate teaching responsibilities and look at the possible disenrollment of some new and returning students,” U.S. The State Department said in a statement, “The Russian government has a long-standing requirement that Anglo American School teachers travel to Russia on diplomatic visas. The Anglo-American School teaches 1,100 students from prekindergarten to high school, mostly the children of diplomats posted to Moscow but also wealthy Russians. The school has found itself in the firing line before when tensions between Washington and Moscow have spiked.
