About British International School of Moscow
The British International School of Moscow was established in April 1994 and is a non–government educational institution licensed by the Moscow Department of Education. It is a Member of the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the European Council of International Schools (ECIS) and is in the process of applying for membersip to the Council of British International Schools (COBIS). The School is proud to have just celebrated its 20th anniversary.
Throughout the years, through the medium of the English National Curriculum and the International Baccalaureate Diploma, the school has delivered a first-class education programme to students from the culturally diverse international community of Moscow. Currently, students of 70 nationalities study in the school.
The school offers a truly international education for pupils of all ages, from Nursery to the International General Certificate in Education and A Levels or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. The class sizes are small and allow for the curriculum to be differentiated to meet the individual needs of the students. English is the common language for learning although for most of the children it is their second, or even their third or fourth language. Those children who need specific support with the English language receive an EAL support programme. A high level of mutual understanding, respect, and an individual approach to each pupil creates a caring and well-disciplined learning environment.
BISM has a very high reputation in Moscow for the approach and quality of its education. They believe it should not just be about academic learning, but rather about the whole child and the school community. Local students attend BIS Moscow because their parents understand that their children are living in a global world and so, to best succeed, they need to have the widest possible opportunities. An English-speaking, British education with connections to the UK’s best universities is considered a huge benefit. BIS Moscow has, over the past several years, consistently been one of the top performing international schools in the city, as can be seen from its students’ IB Diploma results.
This International Baccalaureate World School has eight different sites in Moscow, and consistently delivers a first class education to students from all around the world. Every site has a different Headteacher and there is a close connection between all the schools and staff. Each of the schools are extremely well resourced with modern computer suites, science labs, interactive white boards, libraries, music rooms and fully equipped sports and arts facilities.
The staff of the British International School of Moscow are treated very well, and there are amazing professional opportunities available, with the chance to significantly broaden your horizons. Opportunities do exist for internal promotion, and the school has a year-long induction programme and continuing, quality professional development including in-service with Cambridge Education Limited. Teachers are initially offered a two year contract, which can be extended by mutual agreement.
Moscow is a vibrant city and BIS Moscow is a very supportive school, encouraging staff to enjoy the whole range of benefits the city has to offer.
