Company History

Four years ago, the creators of the School of Basic Knowledge career and education platform, Konstantin Agafonov and Timofey Fokin, met at the Leaders of Russia national management competition. One conversation led to another, and the two realized they had long shared the same dream: to raise the standard of Russian education and make the climb up the career ladder dramatically easier for young people. At the time, Konstantin owned and had founded more than 10 business ventures, including St. Petersburg's first internet service provider, while Timofey was already ranked among the top 10 mathematics teachers in the country. That is how the School of Basic Knowledge career and education platform was born.
