Overview

 

International School (MITIS) welcomes learners (K+12) from different backgrounds and engages each child to attain his/her full potential in a challenging intellectual and genuinely caring environment under the tutelage of well-trained and dedicated teachers. 

The MIT International School offers an integrated curriculum rich with values-oriented, inquiry-based, developmentally appropriate, and hands-on learning experiences. Strong emphasis is given to proficiency in mathematics and oral and written English. A special place is  given to the lively appreciation of music, painting, dance, and other arts. 

The school promotes actively among its students and all its stakeholders the core values of Solidarity, Truth, Respect, Integrity, Perseverance, Excellence, and Service (STRIPES). 

MITIS is a K+12 international school. It is open for enrollment in Grade 1 to Grade 12. Academic calendar starts on first Tuesday of August and ends on the third week of May. 

In view of its learner-centered goals, MITIS sets admission policies and procedures not to screen out applicants but to determine if it can support the needs of each child.

 

Curriculum

 

The educational system at MIT International School is based on the American K-12 curriculum. Our educational goals, courses, methods of teaching, etc. are designed to meet the highest standards. All the textbooks and reading materials used are the same as those used in competitive schools in the United States. All of this will ensure that a student who graduates from MITIS will be prepared intellectually and emotionally for college-level education anywhere in the world. 

At MITIS, we offer the American curriculum with an international perspective to make our students Global Citizens. Our curriculum ensures that our students will profoundly understand and appreciate their own culture as well as the cultures of people of different nationalities.

 

 

COURSES AT MIT INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

 

English Program
The field of English combines Language and the use of the imagination. Language is the means of an individual to define reality as well as help shape individuals' understanding of themselves and the world. And it is the imagination that aids in making meaning of the language that is learned. English is about the interaction with and reflection of texts, language, people, and the world. 

Developing a proficiency in English enables the students to take their place as critical, imaginative and reflective thinkers, effective communicators and active, lifelong learners in not only the local setting, but a global setting as well. It encourages them through different avenues to be a citizen of the world. 

Math Program 
It is mathematical knowledge that has fueled the fires of technological advances and it is those very technological advances that generate new and more complex mathematics. The task then of mathematics education becomes one of helping students to understand how to learn mathematics, how to problem solve, and how to acquire the automaticity with skills and procedures necessary for problem solving. 

It is imperative that MITIS students be able to do complex mathematical operations. With predictions that a majority of MITIS students will pursue educational endeavors in top local and foreign universities, it is necessary that they be equipped with mathematical backgrounds that will allow them to do this. Our students need to be confident in their mathematical abilities and they need to have the mathematical knowledge necessary to fit them for the future. 

Science an Technology Program 
Throughout history, the progress of mankind was largely due to the various accomplishments and advances wrought by science and technology. Science itself is the yardstick for the measure of man's intellectual power and a beacon of man's future potentialities. Therefore, its knowledge would serve as an indispensable asset in the full development of man's capabilities and as an impetus for future endeavors. 

Education in the sciences therefore is absolutely paramount in today's frenetically changing world. The capability of an individual to succeed despite the challenges facing him is hinged greatly in the competence of thinking that the study of science can bring. The science program that this school is relying heavily upon, aims this full cognitive development of the individual student. 

Social Studies Program 
Social Studies are the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence. With predictions that a majority of MITIS students will pursue educational endeavors in top local and foreign universities, it is necessary that they be equipped with global perspective that includes knowledge, skills, and commitments needed to live wisely in a world that possesses limited resources and that is characterized by cultural diversity.
