Director's Welcome
Mr. Connor Vinnicombe
Welcome to The English School of Mongolia (ESM) in Ulaanbaatar. At our school we are proud to serve a richly diverse community of families from Mongolia and over 30 other nationalities. I believe that in ESM, every child has a place where they can learn and grow. No matter what their background is, or what their individual path to success may be, everyone has a place in our community.
As a British International School, accredited by British Schools Overseas (BSO), we offer a broad range of curricula including IB Programmes and Cambridge IGCSEs, all informed by the English National Curriculum and best practices from the UK to give ESM a distinct British quality and style in the heart of Ulaanbaatar.
ESM is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children and young people in our care, following the BISSC Code of Conduct for safer recruitment, and with a robust Safeguarding Policy. We understand that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and we expect everyone working at our school to share this commitment.
We follow the key principle that everyone at ESM should be safe, happy and learning. I invite you to contact us to arrange a school visit, where you can see this in action for yourself. We look forward to welcoming you into our community and working together to support your child's lifelong learning journey.
MISSION STATEMENT
The English School of Mongolia aims at delivering high calibre education while focusing on celebrating cultural and personal values. Supporting students’ educational, moral, social and spiritual needs, ESM creates a learning environment where the strengths of every child can be identified and nurtured.
While striving for academic excellence, ESM creates life-long learners, who are self-confident and well-organised independent thinkers, curious about the world around them. Recognising the community educates global citizens who will be the “change-makers” in Mongolia’s development.

Today in ESM we proudly embrace the glitter, the clashing colours, the dancing reindeer, and every last pom-pom that probably shouldn’t be there.
Whether it lights up, jingles, or looks like it came straight from your grandma’s attic, rock that sweater with confidence! Ugly has never looked this festive. 💚❤️
May your sweater be cosy, your laughter loud, and your holiday spirit extra bright! ... See MoreSee Less

JS Leaders x Prefect Mentorship Programme.
At The English School of Mongolia, leadership doesn’t begin in Grade 12 - and it certainly doesn’t end there. Today our Grade 12 Prefects spent the afternoon mentoring our wonderful Grade 5 Junior School Leaders in an exciting, confidence-building Event Planning Simulation!
Working side by side, our senior students guided the younger leaders through brainstorming, planning, and presenting their very own event ideas. From organising responsibilities to communicating clearly as a team, the room was buzzing with creativity, laughter, and genuine leadership in action.
What made the session truly special was the way our Prefects inspired, encouraged, and supported the Grade 5s - modelling the values we are so proud of at ESM: kindness, initiative, collaboration, and courage. And our Junior School leaders rose to the challenge brilliantly!
These moments remind us that mentorship is powerful - not because older students teach, but because both groups learn, grow, and shine together.
A huge thank you to our Prefect Team for leading, and to our JS Leaders for stepping up with such enthusiasm. We’re already excited for the next session! ... See MoreSee Less
