At the International School of Myanmar, our Secondary School program serves students in Grades 6 through 12, offering a dynamic, student-centered education based on a rigorous American curriculum model. Accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and an International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) Candidate School, our unified Secondary program offers a holistic approach that focuses on the development of the whole child while fostering our Schoolwide Learner Outcomes (SLOs): nurturing students to become Critical Thinkers, Academic Achievers, Involved Citizens, Effective Communicators, and Self-Directed Lifelong Learners.
A particular feature of high school life is the tutorial/flex-time scheduled at the close of the school day. During this time, students may seek help from their teachers in subjects in which they feel they need extra help, or they may take the opportunity to socialize with their friends in the school communal areas.
A recent introduction to the high school has been an ID/keycard issued to students which they use to tap in and out of the school campus through an electronic security gate. This has greatly enhanced security at the school as the system also requires guests to obtain a keycard pass for entry on to the campus thereby allowing the school to monitor all staff, students and guests on-site at all times.
The high school currently has 320 students served by 38 foreign staff and 20 local staff. We, along with parents and the wider community, work together collaboratively to ensure the continued success and growth of the high school. We invite you to join us.
Academic Structure & Schedule

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is explicitly embedded into our timetable and delivered through dedicated Homeroom and Advisory time, where faculty advisors help students cultivate resilience, self-awareness and healthy interpersonal skills.
Beyond the classroom, Secondary students engage in a rich array of extracurricular activities:
