Our Faculty

MIS parents rank our outstanding teachers as our #1 strength. Otherwise known as equally-curious co-learners, our faculty are empowered to foster strong, caring relationships with students. All faculty are specifically trained in gifted education, and understand the unique needs of gifted learners. Small class sizes ensure that every teacher knows each student as an individual and has time to provide one-on-one attention, offering both challenge and support, where needed.

Our flexible, customized curriculum means MIS teachers are encouraged to bring their unique backgrounds, strengths, and interests into the classroom. 64% of faculty and leadership staff hold advanced degrees. 46% of faculty are multilingual, and many have experience teaching internationally. Collectively, they bring a wealth of experience, knowledge, passions, and heart to school with them each day.
