INTRODUCING OUR KSIM IB TRAILBLAZERS

LONDON CALLING!
IN FOCUS: CRAFTING WORLDS
foreword.
Wherever life leads you, remember that KSIM will always be a place that welcomes you back, believes in you, and celebrates everything you go on to achieve.
I am so deeply proud of what our school has become: an IB school in the truest sense. Not just in curriculum, but in character.
Looking Back, Seeing Further:
A Letter to the Class of 2025
I hope we’ll all remember to pause and savour the small moments, the ones that may not seem like much now but will become the memories we’ll cherish most.
“Ko na brdo ak’ i malo stoji, više vidi no onaj pod brdom.”
“He who stands on a hill, even a small one, sees farther than the one who stands below ”

A Journey of transformation, connection, and growth.
Nika Chaplygina (‘25)
What has stuck with me the most was learning how to handle problems. Whether it was academic or personal, studying the IB at KSIM taught me to break challenges down, think critically, and come up with real solutions. That problem solving mindset is something I still use every day.

Building a School, Creating a Legacy:
Q&AwithCorinevandenWildenberg Founding Director of KSIM (2010–2013)
When the opportunity came to help build A School from the ground up, I couldn’t say no. The energy was infectious. The vision was bold. The opportunity was once in a lifetime.
Every small win felt like a triumph. As long as we worked as a team, we believed we could make it happen - and we did!
No single person can carry a school. True progress comes from collaboration - constructing meaning and solving problems together ... in education, the solution will never be one person alone. That’s why ‘Be all that you can be’ has always resonated with me.
London’s appeal to KSIM alumni lies not just in its variety and world-renowned universities but in its alignment with the International Baccalaureate philosophy. It is a city where global education, cultural diversity, and professional ambition converge - making it a perfect launchpad for IB learners ready to take on the world.
I discovered the rhythm of the streets, the hidden cafés, the West End theatres, and the joy of just walking through the parks. London life is busy, diverse, and full of contrasts.
University life isn’t just about academics - it’s about finding your people, discovering your rhythm, and growing into your future.
Life in London is fast-paced, vibrant, and constantly surprising.
LSE reminded me a lot of KSIM in some great ways, especially the international student body and I found the intimate learning environment encouraged active participation and meaningful discussion, just like back home.
Alumni in the Spotlight:

In IB, so many of our projects let us weave in our own interests. That freedom shaped the way I think as a designer.
When I was little, I often played with action figures and visualised play sessions as if my eye were a camera. If Superman flew, I imagined myself flying right behind him, tracking his every move in the most intricate way possible.
