MIS has set a high standard of education for its students and achieved superior results in the Lebanese official exams and in the American SAT I, SAT II, and TOEFL. The school helps prepare its students to be able in their future to contribute to the accumulation and application of analytical methods in a changing world and be aware of the need for harmony between technology and nature.
In both the International Baccalaureate and High School programs, English is the only language of instruction in all classes, while the languages of instruction in the Lebanese Official Program are English and Arabic. In all three programs, French is given as a third language, and Spanish is optional as a forth language.
The academic progress of the student is reported to parents three times a year. The academic year is divided into two semesters and each semester into two terms. Each semester is immediately followed by an exam (The Mid-Year and the Final Exams). The first progress report is sent to parents around Christmas; the second report is at the end of the first semester (around the third week of February); the third term and Final Report Card are sent at the end of the academic year (Last week of June).
