It is my pleasure, on behalf of all our staff, to welcome you to the Middle School page of the ISM website. The middle school at the International School of Myanmar serves grades 6 through 8. Our program is based on current middle years research and best practice.
Our middle school programs serve as an important bridge between the childhood of elementary school and the emerging young adulthood of high school. As such, our program is designed to meet the educational, developmental, social, and emotional needs unique to the young adolescent. Our program is student-centered, and is responsive to students who are undergoing the greatest physiological, psychological, social, and emotional changes of their lives. In addition, our middle school maintains a supportive and flexible environment that allows students opportunities to gain skills, explore possibilities, take risks, and develop the strategies they will need to embrace their world with individuality, courage, and confidence.
Our middle school currently serves just over 200 students and we have an outstanding faculty that includes 29 certified international teachers, an international school counselor and 11 locally certified teachers.
Middle school class sizes range between 18 and 25 students. Students take a combination of core classes and specialist classes. Core classes consist of Math, Science, Language Arts and Social Studies. Students take one class from each of the categories below for their specialist classes;
