MOSCOW MIDDLE SCHOOL №1220

 Middle school № 1220 was founded in 1962. Firstly, it was eight-year school № 52, which was directed by the first Principle Egorova P.F.  In September 1965 our school was transformed into Middle school with teaching some subjects in German. Nowadays it is bilingual school, which keeps many traditions. Children have been studying here for 11 years (from 6 to 17 years ). The Middle school consists of 3 departments: primary school, secondary school and senior school.

The first 4 years at primary school ( aged 6-10 ) pupils are carefully integrated into school life. They get the first ideas about surrounding world. All the teachers help them to get some practices and skills in writing, reading, speaking ( discussing ). In addition, children receive all- round education (Art, P.E., Music, the base of Information Technology )

The main aim of secondary school ( aged 10-15 ) lays the solid foundation of knowledge. Here pupils receive extra tuition in Mathematic, Physics, Biology, History, Chemistry, Art, Music. Besides, two foreign languages are taught at school : German and English. Within this educational framework  a whole range of projects and participation in international exchanges supplement the work in the classroom. Class excursions and trips enhance a conclusive concept of education and training. Both parents and teachers, including primary school teachers, work closely together as a team. To cater for individual abilities, talents and needs pupils can participate in a variety of extra curricular activities, such as Sports, Music, Computer Science.

They can join one of the many clubs.

            The senior department  ( aged 15-17 ) is based on and continues the work of the first grades. A wide range of courses at advanced level allows students to gain qualifications for university entrance. The eldest students specialize in economics and pedagogics.

            To enhance international awareness and understanding we have links and regular exchanges with partner schools in Germany ( Rheine, Flensburg ). Every year we also take part in international projects: “Bavarian motives “, “Linqua”. Nowadays our school are developing the system of co-administration with the help of our students, when they are really active participants of this process.
