AT ESM
 |
We run a comprehensive, internationally-minded curriculum with Britishness at its heart. ESM is an authorised IB World School, culminating in its Diploma Programme, and we also offer IGCSE and BTEC Qualifications. We are also inspected to the British Government’s BSO standards, which are upheld by our strong pastoral practices including Form Tutor and House systems. |
 |
From our Sixth Form prefects, through the Student Council, House Captains and Secondary School Leaders, down to our Junior School Leaders, we provide vast opportunities for all students to step into leadership roles to make a difference in the school, developing the skills and experience to become future global change-makers. |
 |
Our dedicated Pastoral Lead in each area of the school works with our network of Form Tutors and experienced Safeguarding, Counselling and Psychologist teams to ensure we can provide personalised and meaningful wellbeing support to every student. |
 |
Our Clubs Enrichment Programmes across the school allow for exploration and discovery of new activities, developing new passions and skills for the future in areas that are not usually found in the classroom. This year our range of clubs include various martial arts, sports, drama, canvas and felt crafts, chess, robotics, meditation and many more… The clubs programme is always developing and students have the opportunity to make new choices each term. |
 |
ESM prides itself on offering a wide range of real-world experiences out of school both domestically and internationally. This includes residential study trips overseas for our Sixth Form and within Mongolia for Secondary and Junior School students. We also run multiple international language trips and sports tours each year. Further subject and age-specific local trips supplement the learning experience for all students at ESM. |
 |
Both team and individual sports form an important part of a well-rounded education, and ESM is a leader in the sports scene in Ulaanbaatar and the region. Our experienced coaches and state-of-the-art facilities support our teams through successes both in local and international competitions. ESM is the place for any young sportsperson to thrive and achieve their sporting dreams. |
 |
ESM’s famous arts department brings every student the chance to experiment, develop and flourish on the stage. Whether it’s in music, dance or drama, our school calendar is full of events such as our Junior and Secondary Musicals, Festivals of Song and Culture, and the annual ‘Better Together’ Variety Concert, bringing opportunities for students of any age to find and nurture their performing arts talents. |
 |
Language forms a vital pillar of any strong school curriculum and ESM recognises this. Students study in English but also learn Mongolian from the start of Junior School. From Grade 6 a third language is added to the curriculum and students have a choice between Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Russian. |
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.

Our Calligraphy Club students successfully opened their annual exhibition.
The exhibition features works created using traditional Mongolian calligraphy brush techniques and showcases the efforts of 33 students from Grades 6-10. As part of the exhibition, students have beautifully transcribed the full text of "Independence", a poem by Mongolia's People's Writer D. Purevdorj, and are proudly presenting their work to the public.
During the open exhibition day, our students introduced younger learners to the art of calligraphy, while promoting the cultural heritage, beauty, and artistic value of the traditional Mongolian script. The event provided a meaningful opportunity for students to share their knowledge and appreciation of this important part of Mongolian culture.
The exhibition will remain open until June 4, 2026. We warmly invite everyone to visit, explore the students' work, and experience the beauty of Mongolian calligraphy.
Congratulations to our Calligraphy Club teachers and students for successfully organizing this event and demonstrating such dedication, creativity, and talent. We wish them continued success in their future artistic endeavours. ... See MoreSee Less

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL - 2026
One of the most significant highlights of the season was our production of High School Musical. Unlike previous annual musicals, this production resonated particularly strongly with our students as it portrayed the experiences, friendships, aspirations, and challenges of high school life itself. Through its relatable storyline and energetic performances, the musical brought the spirit of student life to the stage, allowing audiences to connect deeply with the characters and themes presented.
The production also marked a major milestone for our Performing Arts Department. For the first time in the school's history, the sports hall was transformed into a fully immersive theatrical venue. Through innovative stage design, professional lighting, sound engineering, and audience configuration, the space was reimagined into a dynamic performance environment that enhanced both the visual and emotional impact of the production.
Another unique aspect of the musical was the participation of the school's entire varsity basketball team. Performing alongside actors, singers, dancers, and musicians, the athletes brought authenticity and energy to the production while demonstrating the strong connection between athletics and the arts. Their involvement highlighted the diverse talents of our students and reinforced the production's central message of unity, collaboration, and community spirit.
Months of dedicated rehearsals and preparation culminated in a vibrant and memorable performance that showcased not only artistic excellence but also the commitment, resilience, and teamwork of everyone involved. High School Musical became more than a theatrical production; it was a celebration of student life and a powerful reflection of what can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared purpose. ...

The musical was absolutely wonderful. Thank you to everyone involved in organizing it ❤️
Last Friday, our Grade 5 students celebrated their graduation. It was a wonderful occasion to see them take the next step in their learning journey, surrounded by proud families, teachers, and friends.
The day was filled with joy, pride, and reflection as we celebrated their growth, achievements, and the memories they have created throughout their years in primary school. While there was excitement for the future, a touch of sadness also lingered as we bid farewell to our students and wished them well on their new adventures.
We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished and wish them every success as they begin the next chapter of their lives. Good luck, Grade 5; we know you will continue to learn, grow, and shine! ... See MoreSee Less
