Director’s letter

Dear Parents of Brookes Moscow, 

RE: From the Director

As we are well into the 2nd week of this half term, I have noticed some quite dramatic changes with our students. It has been uplifting to see our older students demonstrate a far more serious approach to their learning, and increased engagement in their lessons. Perhaps, after the curriculum and building challenges of the first term, our students have settled into an effective working routine. 

Ahead of us, we have a number of exciting trips and fixtures planned, commencing with an U13 Basketball tournament at the International School of Moscow, this Friday. Other exciting events and trips are:

• MUN Bangkok Trip Departs on the 20th November (Good luck all!)
• Reception Trip — Kulibin Pottery on the 25th November (Have a creative time)
• New Year & Christmas Boarding House Decorations on the 26th November (Festive cheer)
• Y2 Trip — Central Children’s Mall on the 27th November (Enjoy your day out Year 2)

Profile of a teacher….

At Brookes Moscow we value the contribution of all of our teaching & administration staff. At our Schools Advisory Board meeting, our parents thought it would be a good idea to profile some of our highly qualified staff to the community. 

Patricia Cavalcanti

Primary School Teacher (Year 4)

BA Language Arts, PGCE, MA Ed — University of East London

Patricia is a teacher with a love for fostering positive relationships and creating healthy learning environments for her pupils. Patricia started her career in 2017 at the St. Paul’s school, in São Paulo, where she found her passion for teaching in Primary. Patricia was thrilled to join Brookes Moscow in 2023 as a Year 4 class teacher, and has since been helping her Y4 pupils flourish in their academic and holistic development. Creating a happy, warm and welcoming class culture is paramount in her practice, as she believes all learning stems from the relationships nourished in the classroom. Patricia is committed to her professional growth and has just completed her Master’s Degree in Education. Outside the classroom, she loves to lead extra curricular activities such as performing arts productions in the Lower School.

Wishing you all a very enjoyable weekend (when we get there!)

My very best wishes

Mr. Charley King
