In the lower tier competition, six schools participated, demonstrating their prowess in individual, practical, algorithmic, and group rounds. Despite fierce competition, ISM emerged victorious, displaying remarkable skill and determination. However, it was a closely contested battle, with BIS showing impressive performance, hot on the heels of ISM throughout the event.
Meanwhile, in the upper tier category, seven schools, including BIS, CIS, EIS, Heritage, Magic Castle, and Brookes, showcased their mathematical acumen. The competition featured intense rounds, including individual challenges that kept the students on the edge of their seats all the way through. A highlight of the upper tier competition was the dramatic conclusion of the individual round, where Dain from CIS and Woo Jin from ISM found themselves in a tiebreaker situation. With tensions running high, Dain triumph was celebrated, making her journey from the St. Petersburg campus truly worthwhile. The competition between ISM and CIS, as well as Brookes, was particularly fierce, with each school delivering impressive performances.
In the end, ISM emerged victorious in both tiers, demonstrating their commitment to mathematical excellence. However, the competition was not without its surprises, with only a one-point difference between the top two finalists in the lower tier, where Ji Yoon from ISM emerged as the champion.
Beyond the intense competition, the Mathematics Olympiad fostered a spirit of teamwork among the participating schools. Pizza and snacks provided the much-needed fuel to keep the mathematicians energised throughout the event, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere.
Furthermore, the success of the event was also attributed to the exemplary efforts of ISM's mathematics ambassadors namely Sihyun, Sunwoo, Ksenia, Luthien, Sara, Paulina, Yuljin, Jizhi, Simo and Yuchan, who provided invaluable assistance to the participating teams. Serving as role models for their school, these student ambassadors exemplified leadership, teamwork, and dedication, ensuring that the event ran smoothly and that all participants felt welcomed and supported.
The Mathematics Olympiad at ISM was not just a showcase of mathematical talent but also a celebration of dedication, perseverance, and teamwork. Congratulations to Minji ( Year 7), Maria ( Year 7), Ain (Year 7), Ji Yoon ( Year 8), Anthony ( Year 8), Hyunbeen ( Year 10), Eunjae ( Year 9), Woo Jin ( Year 9), Andrian ( Year 9) and Haeun ( Year 9) for for their outstanding performances, and here's to many more exhilarating competitions in the future!
The day in a life of a student at the International School of Moscow (ISM) is filled with activities, which means that time is often precious. With so much going on each day – from lessons and coursework to extra-curricular clubs and social activities – we know how important it is to help our young people effectively manage their time.
A child’s youngest years are a jubilant journey of discovery, exploration and growth. The impact of the caring attention we provide during these youngest years will echo through the rest of their lives.
Did you know… a child’s brain is already 90-95% of its adult size before entering Primary school. They will develop a great deal yet, but the foundational structure has been set.
We were thrilled to hear from Elbina, one of our graduating Class of 2018, who was visiting Russia to spend time with her family over the New Year holiday.
Elbina, who graduated from ISM almost six years ago, has completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Biology at the University of St Andrews, and is now midway through her PhD study in the field of medicine.
Elbina enthusiastically agreed to visit her old school to speak with our Sixth Form students, and share her expertise about what to expect from university life, how to get the best results in your degree, and those important next steps after graduation.
