The Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) is a special school in Kyiv, Ukraine. It teaches students about economics and how to manage businesses. KSE started in 1996. It was created by groups like the Economics Education and Research Consortium.

KSE helps students learn about the economy. This helps build a stronger future for Ukraine. Over 700 people have graduated from KSE. Many graduates have gone on to earn advanced degrees from top universities around the world.
