There’s a vision behind our new campaign…
How about a school that prepares its students and also its campus for the future?
At MIS, we seek to offer teaching and learning that is more individual and personalised, that includes powerfully diverse and fit-for-purpose forms of collaboration, that enables greater teacher flexibility and that engages students in prototyping, creating and making.
