Our young students and staff have worked incredibly hard in this productive and challenging school year and we were happy to demonstrate our achievements.

On the 1st week of March 2020 our Pre-schoolers and Primary students of Year 1/2 and 3 (Miss Lin’s, Mr. Richard's and Miss Hanneke's Year groups) visited Moscow «Oceanarium» in VDNKh.

Our St. Valentine Day was so very successful! The students and staff came in red, white and pink, and we all looked like one big team and felt very excited at the Assembly. The excitement became even higher when the Student Council members opened the post box and they started handing out these secret valentines one by one to the students.  We finished our Assembly with a short poem performed by the Nursery children who joined the big Assembly for this special day, and a traditional “Skinna-Marinki” song which the students have learned specially for this occasion.

All the Topic themes in our Primary Years are always fully age appropriate for young children. This is a short video of Miss Hanneke, Year 3 classroom teacher, delivering an exciting and mysterious theme of Ancient Egypt history. This Topic is mainly history-based, and Miss Hanneke added some introduction to the ancient science, religious, culture, art and geography of Ancient Egypt.

The after-school Charity Club at ESS is designed to teach inclusiveness, compassion and empathy in children. We teach our students through local community charity activities and at the sessions we always discuss how we can help. At each meeting we decide what we can do to support a local charity.

In December The English School of Science “Le Fort” took part in the charity Winter Bazaar held by the International Women’s Club (IWC) in Moscow.

Our Primary programme includes Dance lessons two hours a week. For young students, an opportunity to move—especially with music—offers considerable stress relief and an immediate boost to their sense of optimism and self-esteem.

Senior and middle school students had a number of exciting practicals. By this time all of them are able to fulfil the tasks with confidence, they are familiar with the use of school laboratory equipment, experiment protocols and safety rules.
