School Notes
Midtown International School Highlights
Problem Based Learning - MIS students use
research, inquiry, and collaboration to design and evaluate
solutions to open-ended global problems with no easy answers.
Students tackle the world's challenges: debating censorship,
drafing constitutions for imaginary countries, addressing erosion
issues on campus with Trees Atlanta, and much more. Classes
of 12 students (maximum class size) create a learning environment
where everyone is challenged and supported.
Collaboration - Our students dream big and
accomplish feats beyond their years. They work together
toward goals none of them could accomplish alone, learning the
value of teamwork, and understanding when - and when not - to take
the lead.
MIS Mindset - Surrounded by their cognitive
peers and equally curious teachers, the MIS student realizes that
learning isn't confined to a school, but is a lifelong quest to
make meaning, forge relationships, solve problems, and affect
change. We firmly believe that intelligence is potential that
can be cultivated, developed, and built upon every day.
Growth mindset pervades the classroom experience for both students
and teachers at MIS.
MIS students are our future inventors and entrepreneurs,
scientists, artists, researchers, leaders, and change agents.
At MIS, they forge the worldview and the skills they rely upon for
thought-provoking questions, unexpected insights, and a lifetime of
fulfilling work.
So what happens in a school designed for such curious,
globally-minded learners?

We have been at MIS since it opened, and my kids feel so lucky to be learning there. The classes are small so attention is individualized. The staff truly knows and cares about my children. My kids feel safe, respected, challenged, and cherished. And they get to go on independence-building, eye-opening, amazingly fun trips every year! It will be their only school until they graduate!

We came to MIS five years ago because of its pledge that "no one waits to learn." They've kept that commitment, working with us creatively to provide challenging courses for our gifted children. The teachers are exceptional and exceptionally committed to engaging gifted children. We love the diversity of the school and faculty, and we appreciate the support for social and emotional development as well as academics. We also love the opportunities for international travel that are back after being paused for covid. We hope the high school especially will keep growing, but accept that our kids' peer groups are smaller than at other schools as the flip side of having small classes and individual engagement from teachers. As our older son begins looking at colleges, the dedicated college counseling they provide is also a huge plus.

Our experience at M.I.S has been mostly great, my child has attended for 6 years and it feels like a home away from home. The teachers are truly invested in my daughter`s education and her growth as a well-rounded global citizen. I love M.I.S because of the smaller class sizes, and adjustments made as needed to meet my child`s needs. The head of school and staff are very knowledgeable about the complexities of our children including the different ways they learn. There is a strong parent association that works closely with the school and both parties are dedicated to the school`s success. Children have the opportunity to travel to great places such as France, Spain, Peru, Guatemala, and other countries. This gives them opportunities to practice the languages they are taught at MIS and create relationships with families around the world. Younger students take trips to Savannah, Washington D.C., and other exciting cities. It's a smaller school but it will have a big impact on your child's life.
