The Melbourne International School is a small welcoming, inclusive school for children to learn and co-exist from a young age. It is a co-educational international school for children from Preschool to High School with Personalised Learning Plan (PLP) and following the Foundation to Year 10 Australian Curriculum which is similar to the UK Key Stages. The Personalised Learning Plan (PLP’s) enables the school to tailor the child’s educational experience to their specific requirements and unlock their potential. The Founder, Jayne Nadarajoo has a reputation for providing an intimate schooling experience where teachers offer students quality teaching coupled with a personalised education.
MIS offers both mainstream and special education to help each child reach their full potential. The F-10 Curriculum incorporates a visual and performing arts programme as well as therapy services where it is needed. Students see specialist teachers in art, dance, music, occupational therapy, physical education and speech and language therapy. These areas of learning are also used in meaningful and directed ways by the classroom teacher to achieve literacy, numeracy, and living skills goals.
The school also offers functional academics in the areas of Maths, English and Pre-Vocational Training, and it incorporates an independent living skills programme that helps to encourage self-help and self-regulation.
