This year, the BIS students said “goodbye” to winter, celebrating Maslenitsa, a holiday that took place on March 4, in a warm, homely atmosphere that brought everyone together. They were able to taste the most important delicacy of this holiday, pancakes, which have played an important role in culture for centuries: round and hot, they symbolized the sun. The end of the celebration was marked by the traditional burning of the effigy of Maslenitsa.

The British International School pays attention not only to maintaining a comfortable learning environment and high academic results, but also to organizing extracurricular activities in which students can get to know each other better, make new friends, and most importantly, gain new knowledge about culture and traditions. Participating in school activities also develops teamwork skills that will definitely be useful to all the students in the future.
