Middle School Faculty Profiles

Our teachers are highly qualified and passionate about what they do. For the 2012/13 school year, ISM will have 75 teachers who have come to Yangon from all over the world, with many holding advanced degrees. Additionally, over 60 Myanmar assistant teachers work to help ensure that all students are engaged in personalized learning.

As lifelong learners, ISM teachers and administrators engage in a range of professional development opportunities offered at ISM.
