Enhanced Curriculum

Community Service 

We believe that children should grow up with a commitment to productive citizenship both close to home and in a global context. With this in mind, ISM has an established commitment to being a positive and active presence within Moscow and around the world. 

Over the course of their education, every student becomes involved in community service supporting vulnerable people or the environment. Through these programmes, our students come to understand the needs of the wider world, and their own place within it. 

After School Activities 

Each term, students attend our After School Activities. These organised sessions are designed to be an enjoyable way for students to explore new skills and complement their studies. In addition, enrichment programmes help develop personal abilities, such as teamwork and leadership. 

Enrichment programmes cover a range of activities, including sports, drama, singing, debating, cooking, art and chess. Each term, students can choose a new activity to take part in as part of the programme. 

School Trips 

School trips provide excellent opportunities to learn outside of the classroom environment. Throughout our Primary School, school trips are organised in relation to the topics and themes being taught in class. Moscow provides a wealth of opportunities to visit museums, cultural sites, historic buildings and so much more. Students rapidly learn to appreciate the rich history and culture surrounding them, and the vast opportunities to learn in everyday life.

Residential Trips

From Year Three onwards, our curriculum features annual residential trips within Russia and around the world. 

Year Three children start building their independence with a sleepover on our Rosinka Campus, whilst Year Four visits a town of interest close to Moscow. 
International Residentials take place in Years Five and Six, covering such countries as Austria, Germany or France. The children spend a week on such trips, developing their independence, leadership, teamwork, maturity and self-esteem.
