My Life as a Learner : August 2012

As a satisfied parent with two kids studying at the Mahatma Gandhi International School (MGIS Manila), I’ll answer your queries as honestly and concisely as I can.

The essence of all the above questions may be summed up as:

Why should I send my child to International School MGIS (Mahatma Gandhi International School)?

Individualized teaching- Generally, less than 10 students per class; in rare cases, maximum of 15 pax per class

Comfortable indoor learning environment; air conditioned, spacious, sanitized classrooms; Smartboard facilities, computer sets, ICT Room, E-Library, Physical Library etc.

Outdoor learning- MGIS students regularly explore different places outside of the school for experiential learning as integrated in their subjects/ units of learning.

Potentials are determined, recognized, enhanced and supported. (Here’s just one out of the many examples I can give. There’s one incoming Grade 6 student, James Ketcher, who loves singing. The teachers have always believed in his potentials. Hence, he was diligently coached and guided by MGIS Music and Theater Arts specialists. Right now, he’s ready to perform for The King and I at Resorts World Manila this September 2012).

· AT MGIS

We let your kids think
We don't teach religion;we teach VALUES
We respect individual and inter-cultural differences and freedom of expression
No Haircut Policy! ( We don't require to have your kid's head shaved--but proper grooming is maintained)

Most of all, at MGIS

Each year, before the end of the last term, MGIS comes up with a school-wide play/musical, participated by all students, faculty and staff. Last SY 2011-2012, we had Notre Dame de Paris-- French Version; the year before, we had Cats the Musical

MGIS connects daily with parents and students through our state-of-the-art online facilities/programmes

Lastly, at international school MGIS:
