The ISIJ provides

  • Classes focused on main Olympiads: EJOI (basic level- B) and IOI (advanced level-A), seminars. The content of classes of the school of Olympiad Informatics is based on the thematic sections of the International Olympiad in Informatics – «6.2 Algorithms and Complexity (AL)»
  • Distance session of the ISIJ is in the autumn-winter months for students ISIJ http://isi-junior.com/klass/distance.php. YandexContest are the main partners of the ISIJ.
  • IT clubs on the use of IT in various fields of science and technology IT club is to form a space of formation of profile interests at the junction of science and information technology.
  • All teams of ISIJ countries take part in the Cup in two categories: level A (medal advanced level) and level B (medal Basic level) .
  • The School program provides Robot-club. The Junior teams of ISIJ countries (no more than 4 participants in the team) can take part in the Robot-competition.
