OIS students did amazing on the World Scholar’s Cup, which is a great and inspiring educational program that welcomed school-participants from various schools in Kyrgyzstan. OIS students represented their school in the best possible way and we cannot be proud enough of the great and astonishing achievements of our students. They demonstrated their strengths in debating, creative writing and good knowledge of subjects like social studies, art, music, literature, science and history.

Учащиеся Международной школы Оксфорд отлично выступили на Кубке Мировых Ученых, который состоялся 27-28 марта в Бишкеке. Кубок Мирового Ученого является отличной и вдохновляющей образовательной программой, в которой приняли участие многие школы Кыргызстана. Наши ученики представили свою школу наилучшим образом и завоевали кубки и медали в разных номинациях. Мы гордимся достижениями наших учащихся. Они уверенно продемонстрировали свои сильные стороны в дебатах, творческом письме и отличные знания в области общественных наук, искусства, музыки, литературы и истории.

Whilst creating the Assemblage project, student pairs demonstrated risk-taking as they composed in original ways, various found objects incide (and outside too!) a shoebox. 

Year 4 made these cardboard and rubber band guitars, so they could think out how sound is created through vibration. Practical, hands on learning helps us become thinkers and helps us engage with the topic.

Year 3 tested the strength of different magnets during two experiments. First, they measured the distance at which different magnets attracted  paper clips. Next, they measured how many paperclips the different magnets could hold.

One of the most popular activities of Art Week 2019 is Face Painting, a fund-raiser organised by the Art Week Committee in cooperation with Student Council. All proceeds of this endeavour will help support the different community service projects of the Oxford Volunteers Club. Eager students from both the Russian and international curricula availed of either a full face or single motif painting last Monday and Tuesday. On Thursday during break times, STuCo's talented face painters will be stationed at the Reception area, Ground Floor to extend their make-up services to families and guests who are attending the Nooruz program. Support Face Painting fun! Support a worthy cause! Support OIS's Young @ Art!

Art Week 2019 dubbed “OIS’s Young @ Art” opened with a very inspiring art talk by popular local artist Mr. Zhyrgal Maturaimov.

Having learned his unique painting style both from his Fine Arts studies and influenced by his interaction with fellow artists abroad,  Mr. Zhyrgal advised the Secondary students to value their education as this is the key to becoming a successful artist.

The art exhibition was officially opened with a Ribbon-cutting Ceremony by  Mr. Neil and our guest artist.

More fun art activities are to follow in the succeeding days according to Mrs Vera. She urged the whole OIS community to get into artistic mode and be involved.

 

 

Role of a woman in our society is the topic that is constantly put under a discussion. This is what OIS staff members have to say about it.

After a very successful Science Fair, some of our young scientists were given awards for the high quality of their projects. We hope this will encourage them in their professional scientific effort and also encourage more students to participate in the upcoming science activities. Projects were chosen to win according to those with the most proficient scientific base for science competitions. Students were happy and inspired by our Science Fair.

KGRU Curriculum student Elizabeth brought the search engine Ecosia to the minds of Cambridge Curriculum students. Ecosia is a search engine that plants trees around the world with each search.

Oxford International School is proud to announce that Ecosia is now the official search engine used in our ICT labs as we, we hope, help make the world a better place to live.

If you’d like to use Ecosia, just visit ecosia.org and you, too, can help save our planet.

Thank you, Elizabeth!

Cambridge Secondary have been practicing how to be open-minded in conversations with each other. Through our flag project we had important conversations about identity and representation, we tried to make sure we listened to and evaluated a range of points of view. Does everyone feel represented? What does it mean to be represented by a flag? Are we appreciated everyone's personal history?

Учащиеся старшей школы Кембридж практикуют открытость при коммуникации друг с другом. Во время работы над проектом «Флаги» учителя-координаторы проекта проводили с учащимися беседы об индивидуальности каждой личности, способах её утверждения, о важности умения слушать собеседника и умения выразить свои мысли. Учащиеся говорили о своих чувствах, которые они испытывают при виде флага своей страны. Так же учащимся прививалось чувства уважения к истории разных стран.
