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.

I love this! What a wonderful testament to the community at ESM. 👏👏👏
Might be April but not March?
From March 5 to 12, our Korean language ESM students traveled to South Korea for an unforgettable and exciting journey.
During the trip, we not only strengthened our Korean language skills but also fully immersed ourselves in the culture. We explored historic streets and modern neighborhoods, admired beautiful sights, and experienced everyday life in Korea.
We returned home with wonderful memories, fresh impressions, and plenty of inspiration. It was truly an unforgettable experience! ... See MoreSee Less
