The Daily Programme Each day starts with registration and talking to the tutor at 0820. Staff are on duty before then to welcome early arrivals. After a short daily assembly, there are six classes of an hour each. Where possible, English and Maths are taught first thing; sport and games at the end of the afternoon. Extra and separate lessons are provided for learners of English to coach them and to lead them to a confident level of fluency in English. Once the school is satisfied that such students can cope effectively with mainstream classes, they are integrated into regular classes, with a programme of support maintained at a lower level. There is an unremitting emphasis on the use of English at all times within the school. Humanities include History, Geography and World Studies, an integrated course that includes spiritual understanding, social education and current affairs. EIS welcomes children from all faiths, and ensures that respect for others’ traditions grow from knowledge of different faiths and cultures. Art, Music and Design stimulate creative and aesthetic development. The physical education programme is an essential part of the curriculum, and includes mobility (gymnastics and dance), skill and stamina training (swimming and cross country skiing) and team games (football, basketball, volleyball, touch rugby, field hockey and cricket). On non games days, there is an activity session which works like after school clubs, and allows enjoyment of a wider range of skills, from chess to calligraphy, publishing to extra Russian. We are building links with our local community, and Moscow provides a fantastic resource for bringing learning to life.The day ends at 1530, to allow easy transport back into Moscow before the evening congestion. On Mondays, there is an optional extra hour of ‘Clubs’ – extra-curricular activities. All pupils are set homework each day, with the amount increasing as children get older and more responsible for independent study.
