At MEIS, students use their English class to interact with a range of texts and generate insight into moral, social, economic, cultural and environmental domains. They continually grow in their abilities to form opinions, make decisions, and reason ethically.

We also provide sustained language learning: Arabic & Turkish. Giving students the opportunity to develop insights into the features, processes and craft of language and the concept of culture, and to realize that there are diverse ways of living, viewing and behaving in the world.

Our Middle Years Program (MYP) language and literature courses develop skills in six areas:

• Listening
• Speaking
• Reading
• Writing
• Viewing
• Presenting

Inquiry is at the heart of  MYP language learning and aims to support students’ understanding by providing them with opportunities to independently and collaboratively investigate, take action and reflect on their learning.

Mathematics in our MYP program, helps students develop problem-solving techniques that transcend the discipline and that are useful in the world beyond school. Students in the MYP learn how to represent information, to explore and model situations, and to find solutions to familiar and unfamiliar problems.

At MEIS, we provide a rigorous and relevant math curriculum with many opportunities for students to stretch their thinking through challenges and contests.

The Middle Years Program {MYP} sciences framework encourages students to investigate issues through research, observation and experimentation, working independently and collaboratively.  As they investigate real examples of science application, students will discover science and the environment.

In social studies, students collect, describe and analyze data used in studies of societies, test hypotheses, and learn how to interpret complex information, including original source material. This focus on real-world examples, research and analysis is an essential aspect of this subject.

At MEIS, students use their Social Studies class to respect and understand the world around them.  Social Studies class equips them with the necessary skills to inquire into historical, contemporary, geographical, political, social, economic, religious, technological and cultural factors that have an impact on individuals, societies and environments.

In the Middle Years Programme {MYP}, physical and health education empowers students to understand and appreciate the value of being physically active and to develop the motivation for making healthy life choices.

The Physical and Health Education program at MEIS combines theory and practical skills.  All students learn to be physically active and healthy. Students gain exposure to physical games and learn to recognize the importance of mental and physical health. 

At MEIS we offer visual arts. In the Middle Years Program {MYP}, students develop through creating, performing and presenting visual communication in ways that engage and convey feelings, experiences and ideas. It is through this practice that students acquire new skills in Arts class and master those skills developed in prior learning. Students have opportunities to function as artists, as well as learners of the arts.
