Our Montessori students had a fun-filled Sports Day last Friday, May 20th, and we were excited that we were able to invite parents again not just as spectators but also to take part in two final activities!

On Friday, May 13th, we opened our doors to the Saint Maur parent community for our very first in-person Elementary concert in 3 years! The different performances featured music learnt in Music class throughout the academic year.

We recently reported on the visit to our labs by Dr Aki Minoda, a group leader at RIKEN research institute, mentioning that Dr Minoda was a very active supporter of the Science Department. Today we are delighted to report that thanks to her help, the Biology lab is on its way to conduct a new and very exciting range of experiments.

This past week, Saint Maur International School held its annual Middle School Science Fair. The 6th and 7th Grade students presented their scientific research to staff, parents, and other students from Grades 5 to 11. It was the culmination of two months of research and testing and while many of the students were nervous, they did brilliantly presenting to such a broad audience.

As we approach the end of the academic year, the Music department felt it would be a great time to report on some of the fantastic live events that our students have recently performed in!

A big thank you to our Parent Support Group (PSG) at Saint Maur for their financial support with a new music workshop series that allowed top musicians to perform a concert and lecture live on stage for our students.

As we approach the end of the academic year, the Music department felt it would be a great time to report on some of a fantastic KPASS event that we have participated in this spring, whilst also letting you know about the next KPASS event that is still to come!

Even though Aikido has no matches or competitions, there are plenty of opportunities for aikidoka to challenge themselves, meet other practitioners, and experience different approaches to the art. A major source of such challenge and discovery usually comes under the form of seminars, which are technical masterclasses placed under the direction of one or several teachers. Those can last from half-a-day up to an entire week in the case of resident training.
