Middle School

Grade 6 – 9

Middle School at SIS is a time of growth, curiosity, and exploration. Students are encouraged to discover their interests, build independence, and face challenges with confidence.

Through inquiry-based learning, students learn to think critically, make connections across subjects, and take responsibility for their learning. The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) supports students’ intellectual, personal, and social development.

“The Middle School years are a time of discovery. We place student wellbeing at the heart of learning, creating an environment where young people can thrive. Our rigorous academic programme nurtures deep global understanding and challenges students to think boldly, question deeply, express confidently, and turn ideas into meaningful action.”

Michael Moore
