Last night marked a truly special milestone in the life of our school as we gathered to celebrate the outstanding achievements of the Class of 2025 at their graduation ceremony, held at the prestigious Yacht Club de Monaco.
The evening was filled with emotion, pride and joy, as students, families, staff and honoured guests came together to recognise this remarkable group of young people. The ceremony was attended by Mr Vinci, Director of Education, Youth and Sports, and opened with a heartfelt address by Mr Yuri Bogdanov, President of the ISM Board of Trustees.
The event featured thoughtful speeches and outstanding performances from our graduating students, showcasing their talents, gratitude and hopes for the future, as well as an impressive performance from our Year 5 choir. A highlight of the evening was the keynote speech delivered by Mr Nick Danziger, the renowned photojournalist, who shared powerful stories and words of inspiration that resonated deeply with all in attendance.
Mr Bryan, ISM Director, paid tribute to the Class of 2025 by highlighting not only their academic success, but also their holistic development and lasting contribution to our school community. He noted their role in shaping and making the most of our new state-of-the-art campus at Testimonio II—an environment they have truly helped bring to life.
This graduating class holds a special place in ISM’s history. Many began their journey with us in Kindergarten or Primary School, and they are the very first to graduate from our new premises. Their perseverance, ambition and sense of community have left an indelible mark on our school.
We could not be prouder of the Class of 2025. As they step into the next chapter of their lives, we wish them every success and happiness. Their journey is just beginning, and we look forward to seeing the difference they will make in the world.
Special thanks to our entire Board of Trustees, PTA, parents, staff, and every part of the ISM community who contributed to making this special event such a success, in particular our dedicated Performing Arts department, Admissions and Marketing department, and IT department. Last but not least, we especially thank our Director of Studies, Ms Hannah Gettel, for her impeccable coordination of this event.
Congratulations to the Class of 2025!
