Mission and Vision
The International School of Myanmar is a community of lifelong learners. Our students will acquire the skills and attitudes necessary to succeed in English speaking universities and to be caring, independent, productive and responsible citizens; ready to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
Our mission means that at ISM, students do not merely memorize and repeat information gleaned from textbooks or lectures. Rather, ISM's curriculum strives to emphasize a genuine understanding of big concepts, our materials include a variety of sources and manipulative materials, and our assessments encourage students to take intellectual risks and transfer their understanding to real-life situations.

Universities around the world know that ISM's students receive a high-quality academic curriculum and a rigorous co-curricular and extra-curricular program that emphasizes high social and ethical standards. ISM works hard to recognize each student's unique abilities, and our teachers create opportunities for students to cultivate self-esteem, personal responsibility and self-discipline. Upon completion of our program, we are confident that all of our students will realize the value of:
- Being life-long learners,
- Striving for academic excellence,
- Valuing their own culture while demonstrating an understanding and appreciation for other cultures,
- Respecting themselves, their peers, the school, and our environment,
- Displaying integrity, honesty, openness and consideration when interacting with others,
- Participating as responsible citizens of the world
