Mission

Truth, beauty & compassion

Modern High School International strives to maintain its mark of excellence as an institution that respects diversity and fosters compassion towards all forms of life. The school aims to promote creative and critical thinking for all members of the school community encouraging them to be life-long learners.

Why Modern High School International?

It has a nurturing environment where people shine!

At Modern High School International we aim to provide a stimulating environment, rooted in the belief that every experience provides opportunities for learning and growth. As a school we acknowledge that every child is unique.

Modern High School International prides itself on being a school that has been founded upon the 70 year-old legacy of Modern High School for Girls. It aims to promote creative and critical thinking in the classrooms, delivering an international curriculum that is rooted in local tradition and context. The curriculum focuses on honing 21st century skills and competencies, namely: collaboration, communication, ICT and digital literacy, social or ethical responsibility and international mindedness.

The school helps students discover their own potential by providing opportunities for academic excellence alongside opportunities for participation in a wide range of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. The curriculum offers opportunities for sports, arts, music, community service and value education aiming to broaden students’ educational experience and challenging them to apply their knowledge and skills in newer contexts. These myriad experiences focus on helping students build resilience and adaptability.

Our well-integrated student population comprises children from different communities and socio-economic backgrounds. Our smart classrooms focus on building conceptual understanding rather than content-based knowledge encouraging a culture of enquiry, thinking and reflection. We boast of a system that recognizes personal attributes such as integrity and diligence in addition to talent and achievement. We pride ourselves on being a learning organisation ensuring opportunities for learning and professional development for all members of our school community.

IB Diploma programme

  • The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) is for students aged 16-19. The programme aims to develop students who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge—students who flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally, and ethically.
  • The Diploma Programme (DP) curriculum is made up of six subject groups and the DP core, comprising theory of knowledge (TOK), creativity, activity, service (CAS) and the extended essay.
  • Through the Diploma Programme (DP) core, students reflect on the nature of knowledge, complete independent research and undertake a project that often involves community service.

Cambridge IGCSE programme

  • The Cambridge IGCSE is the world’s most popular international qualification for 14- to 16-year-olds. Not only is it truly international – but it also gives students more options than any other international qualification. That means more subjects to choose from, more ways to learn and more ways to succeed.
  • The Cambridge IGCSE curriculum offers a variety of routes for learners with a wide range of abilities.
  • Cambridge helps schools build a programme around their specific needs. Starting from a foundation of core subjects, it is easy to add breadth and cross-curricular perspectives. Encouraging learners to engage with a variety of subjects, and make connections between them, is fundamental to our approach.
  • Cambridge IGCSE supports schools to offer a flexible and stimulating curriculum, supported with excellent resources and training. At MHSI, we offer a flexible curriculum, with a choice of over 21 subjects in various combinations.
