Values



MIS seeks to provide a person-centered education which develops all that is best in each student. The educational climate is considered of supreme importance, and the school creates a family-like atmosphere through personal attention, encouragement and understanding. The overall small numbers facilitate open communication between teachers and pupils and among the pupils themselves. The difference of culture shared among the international students provides a good area to mold the students for a better future.
Students' initiative and participation are encouraged at all levels. There is a School Council of staff and students, to which representatives are elected each year from the Secondary School. They help the students at all levels and encourage them to do well in all the activities.
Emphasis is placed on high academic standards and hard work, leading to the formation of sound intellectual criteria and good study habits. A mixed ability system operates in all classes throughout the school.

 

An Educational Society


The school seeks to create an educational society where parents, staff and students work together in harmony for the overall development of the pupil, since both home and school have an important and complementary role to play in this task. Contact is maintained during the year between parents and teachers, both individually and in groups within this context, the pupil is encouraged to develop all aspects of his/her person.
Discipline is based on mutual respect and reason rather than fear. Opportunity is given to the students to develop self-discipline, self-respect and respect for others, as well as a sense of responsibility and co-operation.

Personal Development


Emphasis is given on the personal development as involvement with learning goes beyond the limits of the class-room. The students are encouraged to become creative, self-confident, articulate and committed members of society. Students take part in club activities, plays and social awareness campaigns. School outings to the theatre, concerts, and public exhibitions are undertaken in the course of the academic year.
Musical and dramatic talent is developed through school band, concerts, musical presentations or plays. The visual arts are also a priority. Drawing, painting, as well as craft work are included in the curriculum and are regularly displayed. Pupils take part in public competitions. Throughout the year there is scope for group and individual creativity, research, project work, presentation skills, shared responsibility and team work, adventure, contact with the world of work and with society. Overall, the education at MIS seeks to make the most of a year less subject to the narrowing constraints of examination pressures, to give the students a more complete educational experience. It is a much appreciated system on the part of the students.

 

Personal Care (Students we care)


We strive hard to give every pupil our personal care and attention so that they don’t get lost in this world of competition and gain hopes that they can do well in their future career. To enable pupils to receive personal attention, so important in any educational process, a system of Class-Teachers' operates in the School. The Class-Teacher looks after the overall welfare of the pupils in a given class.
