Our results at GCSE this year put our students right up there with the very best schools around the world.
With 50% of grades either A* or A, and 97% of all our grades A* - C, we significantly outperform UK independent schools yet again.
ISM remains one of the top performing schools at (I)GCSE and we are immensely proud of the efforts and achievements of every student.
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?
