Learn More about MIS

At MIS, we discover and nurture the strengths of a child with special needs rather than focus on their disability. Every child should be valued as they have the potential to contribute to society.

Facilities

We are surrounded by lush greenery, with specialised facilities and equipment to cater to students’ different needs

Why Choose our School

Equity is a central feature of Melbourne International School. We embrace student diversity and understand the valuable contribution this makes to the education and outcomes of ALL students.

Inclusive education allows students of all backgrounds, abilities to learn and grow side by side, to the benefit of all.

We are breaking down barriers and pushing beyond the conventional expectations of inclusion, in order to provide our school community with a more enriching, inclusive, and welcoming school environment.

We have created a beautiful culture and welcome likeminded families who are advocates for inclusive schools.

Our Parents Love the School

We are from Brazil and thought that language would be the main barrier for my son’s development when we moved here. However after a few months we noticed a great improvement in his communication, in English! We also appreciate the open communication we have with the MIS staff members and we feel comfortable discussing details and sharing outcomes. It feels like a true partnership with everyone focused my son’s development!
