Student Life Programme

The Student Life Programme is essential to achieving the MIS Mission and provides a uniquely suitable path for intercultural communication, community and understanding. Learning through the co-curriculum is a valuable and enriching aspect of growing up, helping students to develop resilience, adaptability, self confidence and a sense of identity. Moreover, students involved in the arts, clubs and sports are more likely to be recognised for academic excellence. Performing Arts - instrumental, choir, dance, drama and theatre activities - offer students the opportunity to participate in numerous concerts and theatre productions at MIS, as well as festivals, field trips, and events held in Bavaria and abroad.

Like our curricular programmes, our Student Life programmes support our students to develop the attributes set forth in our school mission. Additionally, our Student Life programme provides opportunities for students to

• explore activities and interests that are new to them,
• deepen previous learning and existing interests,
• develop an understanding and appreciation for the ways that effort, commitment, and persistence contribute to expertise and achievement,
• learn to cooperate, to collaborate, and to engage in teamwork in order to accomplish more than they could alone,
• cultivate positive habits and attitudes,
• increase the number and diversity of productive and healthy social relationships,
• represent themselves and their school to the outside world,
• grow their school spirit and their pride in being part of a diverse and inclusive community,
• practice goal-setting and the pursuit of independence and personal responsibility,
• foster physical and mental balance, and
• enjoy learning to exercise choice in shaping their free time.

The STUDENT LIFE PROGRAMME will increase opportunities for Competition and Participation; will generate School Spirit and Pride; will encourage Activity for Life; will make the most of our USP: Lake -- Mountains – Forest.
