At ISM, we believe that schools should be a hub of learning experiences for the whole community. In this spirit, we were thrilled to host our first live Parent Academy sessions on Lower Campus since 2019.
We started with a brief seminar on developing children into self-confident explorers of mathematics. It’s so important for children to feel as if maths mastery is within their reach.
When the community praises children for courage, resilience and hard work, they learn to repeat those behaviours and take challenging risks. This is so much more important than focusing on ‘correctness’, which can steal the excitement of exploring new maths skills and be detrimental in the long term. When we all cooperate together, the children build up positive behavioural habits which ultimately translate into great learning progress.
After learning about these key principles, parents visited classrooms to see the children tackling tough new challenges. It was terrific to hear a stream of supportive feedback bouncing around the room. The children were so motivated by their parents’ voices recognising their hard work and courage. It’s no wonder maths is such a strength of ISM!

A child’s youngest years are a jubilant journey of discovery, exploration and growth. The impact of the caring attention we provide during these youngest years will echo through the rest of their lives.
Did you know… a child’s brain is already 90-95% of its adult size before entering Primary school. They will develop a great deal yet, but the foundational structure has been set.
We were thrilled to hear from Elbina, one of our graduating Class of 2018, who was visiting Russia to spend time with her family over the New Year holiday.
Elbina, who graduated from ISM almost six years ago, has completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Biology at the University of St Andrews, and is now midway through her PhD study in the field of medicine.
Elbina enthusiastically agreed to visit her old school to speak with our Sixth Form students, and share her expertise about what to expect from university life, how to get the best results in your degree, and those important next steps after graduation.
