The ISM PE department has had a very busy half term with lots of amazing sport opportunities created for our students.
On November 26th The Krylatskoe Upper Campus hosted the Primary Basketball Tournament. Teams across all three campuses were in attendance and the support from the parents was fantastic.
Students from Years 3 - 6 from Rosinka, Upper Campus and Lower campus competed with great endeavour and the standard of basketball was superb.
The winning teams were:
On January 28th our Secondary Students will be competing in the 3 v 3 basketball tournament at a fantastic external venue, I can't wait to report on our success. We will be competing with many schools across Moscow.
On November 29th our Primary and Secondary swimmers competed in a Swimming Gala at the Rosinka campus. Our Primary swimmers aimed to improve their personal best times. Our Secondary swimmers finished second in their competition. A special mention must go to Sofya who won all of her races and was the MVP of the Gala.
On February 7th, ISM will be hosting another Swimming Gala where our Secondary Students will be competing with other schools across Moscow. Our aquatics director Ms Samuels is working hard on creating an exciting schedule and we wish our Lions good luck!
Earlier this Half Term, ISM competed in the Nord Anglia Global Campus 5km running race, where our students were up against schools across all of Nord Anglia!
Our students performed and represented the school with great honour and pride. I would like to highlight the students below for their amazing times. Do you think you are faster than them?

A busy sporting term awaits us in January, and I am excited to share our successes with you in the near future.
Let's go Lions!
- By Mr Beattie.
Research shows that confident students are more likely to succeed academically.
In fact, several science-backed studies cite self-confidence as the number one predictor of academic achievement. Researchers found that students with greater confidence were more willing to learn and challenge themselves. They were also more motivated, resilient, and capable of dealing with adversity.
At the International School of Moscow (ISM), our job is to build and nurture positive self-esteem in children. But what is confidence? And how does it affect academic performance?
