Employer Information

The International School of Moscow

ISM was established in April 2007.  Initially an infant school it has now grown to incorporate EYFS, Primary and Secondary School to Year 12 with 875 pupils on roll. The academic year 2015-16 will see our first ‘A’ level courses completed.

ISM offers the English National Curriculum but in an international context. While following the structure of the ENC as a minimum expectation, much of our work is adapted to reflect the context of the school.  Our children are bright, motivated and talented individuals from international backgrounds and our curriculum reflects this.  For example, all of our students study Russian as part of the curriculum and enjoy specialist lessons in PE and Music throughout the school.

Presently our school is set over three sites on the pleasant, residential north west side of Moscow. The Krylatscoe Lower Campus offers classes from Nursery to Year 3. The Krylatscoe Upper Campus houses Year 4 to 12 and will expand this year adding twelve additional classrooms and completing Secondary education in Year 13. The Rosinka site offers education from Nursery to Year 6 with all pupils from that site having the opportunity to transfer to the Krylatscoe Secondary School in Year 7.

First time visitors to our school often comment on the friendly and welcoming atmosphere that our community has established. We believe strongly that all members of ISM should enjoy positive relationships. Our philosophy is to ensure that our school sites remain intimately sized in order to maintain a family- orientated approach to education.

This philosophy is echoed throughout our growing network of British School Foundation schools in Europe, the Americas and Asia. While each school is organized appropriately to reflect the context in which it is set, our schools share a common ethos set out in the BSF charter.  We believe in the personal development of all pupils alongside academic excellence. We offer a breadth of experience for all and a strong sense of community and citizenship. Our aspiration is to provide world-class education.

ISM believes strongly that ICT should be central to our teaching and learning. Provision is via Apple Mac technology throughout the school. Provision of 1-2-1 devices for upper primary and secondary pupils is in line with the vision of the school to prepare pupils for the world that is rapidly developing.

ISM completed a first ever ISI inspection in October 2013 that identified all aspects of the school to be excellent. This successful report has enabled us to achieve full membership of COBIS and access to a range of opportunities for staff and pupils alike.

Our staff work very hard but are well rewarded personally, professionally and financially. As a result, many of our teachers gain a strong affinity for the school and find it hard to leave. Many that do leave, choose to stay within our network of schools and several have enjoyed promotions within the foundation.

The International School of Moscow is an exciting and enriching place to work and looks forward to greeting new members of staff who have the skills, energy and enthusiasm to thrive in the positive environment that we offer.

History and Ethos

The International School of Moscow (ISM) is one of the leading international schools in Moscow, offering contemporary British international education to students from 2 to 18 years of age, from Early Years through to Secondary and Sixth Form.

Since opening in 2007, ISM has become the school of choice for expatriate and Russian families, looking to provide their children with the highest levels of education.

The school is part of Nord Anglia Education, a growing network of over 70 schools established across the globe. ISM, through Nord Anglia Education, collaborates with world-leading organisations, including the Juilliard School, MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and UNICEF.

In 2021, ISM A Level students, yet again, achieved record-breaking results in their examinations. Over the past six years, over a hundred students have graduated from ISM. A third of these students have entered the TOP-100 Universities, including the University of Oxford, Cambridge University, UCLA, The University of Amsterdam and The University of Toronto.

Location and Facilities

ISM is nestled in two of Moscow’s most exclusive areas: Krylatskoe and Rosinka International Residences.

In the west of the city, ISM Krylatskoe is based at the heart of a protected national park and is surrounded by sports facilities. The campuses welcome students from 3 to 18 years of age and offer unique Secondary and Sixth Form opportunities, due to the large international student body and the wide variety of (I)GCSE and A level subjects.

ISM Rosinka welcomes students from 2 to 11 years of age. The campuses are located inside Rosinka’s gated territory and set against the stunning backdrop of the Krasnogorsky Forest. ISM Rosinka is a unique, safe, family-friendly community school that offers an exceptional outdoor programme. Upon graduation from Primary School, ISM Rosinka students transfer to the Secondary School at Krylatskoe Upper Campus.

Career Development and Benefits

A career with ISM offers all the opportunities associated with a dynamic, global organisation. We offer an excellent salary and benefits package, including housing, international medical cover, annual flights allowance and bursaries for accompanying children.

We also provide fantastic learning and continuing professional development opportunities, both within the school and across Nord Anglia Education.

The Future

In the last 14 years, ISM has grown from 90 pupils in Early Years and Primary to more than 1,100 students in Early Years, Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form. It has received three consecutive Excellent ISI inspection reports and is the number one choice for A Levels among international schools in Moscow. In an increasingly competitive market, ISM continues to strengthen its ambition of being the region’s most respected and highest-achieving school.
