During the past academic year, more than 140,000 clubs and sections operated for children in the capital. Young city residents had access to various activities in the fields of science, sports, arts, and culture. With the start of the new academic year, parents can also choose a hobby their children will enjoy and submit an application online.
“In the 2025–2026 academic year, Muscovites enrolled in clubs and sections about 3.6 million times. Traditionally, demand for the service begins to grow at the end of August and reaches its peak by the end of September. Among the most popular areas last academic year were football, chess, and programming. I would like to note that interest in organizing leisure activities for schoolchildren increases steadily every year: last academic year, parents submitted eight percent more online applications for enrollment than the previous year. This academic year, a high interest in additional education is also expected. Parents can still enroll their children in classes online on the “Moscow Electronic School” (“MES”) platform or using the service on the mos.ru portal,” she said
Elena Shinkaruk, chairman of the Moscow Committee of State Services.
Electronic application
You can find a hobby you like online on the portal mos.ru using the super service “Registration for clubs, sports sections, and art schools”. Muscovites have been using it for more than 10 years. Today, the catalog features over 50 diverse directions. Special filters by activity type, child’s skill level, and section location will help choose an extracurricular activity. In addition, registration is possible through the “Clubs” service of the “MESH” electronic diary or in the “MESH Diary” mobile app. For users, a list of recommended activities is automatically generated based on the child’s age and school profile.
Convenient filters allow you to find the activity that perfectly fits your time, district, nearest metro station, field of study, or format of delivery. The entire process is fully digital: you can conclude or, if necessary, terminate the training contract online on the mos.ru portal. In addition, parents and students have a useful function to track the schedule of additional classes, which is displayed in the “MESH” electronic diary directly in the timetable.
An electronic application for enrollment in a club can be submitted by one of the minor student’s parents. For this, it is necessary to provide information about oneself and the child, as well as enter identity document details. Information contained in the personal account will be automatically transferred to the application. Signing the contract for certain types of activities occurs directly in the application form by marking the corresponding field. The final decision will be sent to the personal account and to the applicant’s email.
Festival “Choose Success”
In Moscow Department of Education and Science They reminded: in 25 metropolitan centers for additional education, including the Moscow Palace of Pioneers on the Vorobyovy Gory, on September 12 there will be a unified open day — the “Choose Success” festival. From 10:00 to 18:00, children and their parents will be able to learn about additional education programs, sign up for clubs, and participate in thematic quests. Entrance to the event is free, but prior registration is required through in the “Horizons” service.
The mos.ru portal is the core of the capital’s digital ecosystem. Today, it hosts more than 460 services and solutions that help solve practically any issue online. In a convenient digital format, you can, for example, pay bills, check your child’s school grades and schedule, submit meter readings, book a veterinary appointment for your pet, as well as buy tickets for plays, concerts, and much more.
