Preparing to engage with and succeed in a complex world.
Welcome to MIS
At Myanmar International School we think each school day is an opportunity for fun and challenge as students engage with curricular content and extracurricular activities. We recognize our students are whole individuals with their own interests, ideas and hopes, and so our mission is to encourage each student to be more who they are, helping to identify and develop their strengths.
Richard MacLean
Chief Education Officer
Hello and welcome to the website of MIS, an International School with which I am very proud to be involved.
The pandemic has caused huge disruption to all our lives, but the job of educating our young must not be disrupted. We owe it to them to create a sound learning environment and at MIS that is precisely what we are doing.
You will notice on this website that there is a ‘wellbeing’ tab, as we recognise the emotional stresses being separated from friends and normal school activities can cause: to both students and staff.
At MIS we have a dedicated team of trained Designated Safeguarding Leads whose job is to monitor, support and assist all of the individuals, teaching staff, students and support staff. As CEO, my Senior Management Team and I monitor all the latest research and endeavour to pass this onto our professional staff.
MIS is a school which cares and which recognises our moral imperative to look after our young at this very difficult time.
Thank you for your interest in our school. Please reach out to our Admissions team and we will be happy to answer any of your questions.
