The International School of Moscow

FOCUS:
Uncompromised standards in a complex landscape
Part of Nord Anglia Education, ISM operates across two leafy campuses in Krylatskoye and Angelovo. The school has maintained its poise and high standards through recent geopolitical storms, remaining the steadfast choice for the expatriate community and local families who value a global outlook. It is especially commendable that the school continues to offer the full British curriculum despite British exam boards withdrawing from Russia in 2022. With Russia banning the IB in 2025 out of concern for ideological inculcation, ISM remains one of the few options offering international education in Russia as well as the region’s top academic performer. Beyond the classroom, partnerships with MIT and The Juilliard School ensure pupils benefit from world-class opportunities to develop their talents and deepen their interests. Using Nord Anglia’s Global Campus platform to keep over 60 nationalities of its pupils connected to the wider world, this is a school that refuses to be insular.
