Medan Independent School

Medan Independent School Formerly known as Medan International School, accredited by International Baccalaureate Or Many of them have advanced degrees.

MIS is the only licensed International Baccalaureate (IB) World School in Medan offering the Primary Years Programme and the Middle Years Programme. Class sizes are small, which allows your child to get the kind of focused and direct attention from teachers that will allow them to bloom. In order to offer such a prestigious program, we employ native-English speaking, certified, ex-pat teachers fro

m the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand with experience teaching in their home countries as well as in other international schools. No other school in Medan can match the quality of our teachers and no other school offers the same level of attention to your child's needs. MIS is the only school in Medan accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) based in the United States. This accreditation will help to give your child access to some of the best schools in North America and around the world. It also lets you know that your children are enrolled in a school that is continually improving its practice. Our students come from many different countries: Australia, China, England, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway and the United States. We are truly a global community and we believe that learning in such an internationally-minded environment will better prepare you child to be a global citizen in an international marketplace. In 2017 we will be opening Grade 11 which will lead to a High School Diploma (we are currently a candidate school for the IB Diploma Programme). With this program, MIS will offer its students access to the finest universities around the world. MIS is without equal when it comes to offering the highest quality education in Medan.

Scored 42 out of 45! ⭐️
Congratulations to Sienna for earning a 42/45 in her IBDP studies. She earned 7/7 in all of her higher level courses. This is something achieved by 1.5% of all IB students. She also served as the Treasurer for Student Government and joined the Model United Nations team. She was able to accomplish this through hard work and knowing when to ask her teachers questions.

We are so proud of you, Sienna! 🥳

Some of the best school memories are made outside the classroom. 🏐💙 Looking back at our Teachers vs. Students Volleyball Match, we're reminded that a little friendly competition, plenty of laughter, and the strong bond between teachers and students are what make our community so special. As we get ready to begin another exciting school year, we can't wait to share many more moments like these together. 🏐🥳🏅
