Our Mission, Vision & Values

Midtown International School supports gifted and high achieving students to engage and thrive by providing immersive learning opportunities that develop their passions and maximize their strengths.

Vision:

Our globally-minded, problem-based curriculum develops inquisitive, flexible, collaborative thinkers who will become a community of engaged global citizens.

Values:

At Midtown International School, we believe that learning is a limitless endeavor best undertaken with curiosity while exploring a diversity of viewpoints. Our learning is realized in the most authentic sense by practicing respect, responsibility, and justice in the world around us. 

The MIS Promise

​Midtown International School is Atlanta’s home for globally-minded, gifted students. At MIS, highly inquisitive students develop authentic relationships with equally curious teachers, exceptionally talented and supportive peers, and with the limitless act of learning itself.

In MIS, you'll find a school where:

  • teachers serve as trusted guides for the problem-solving process, learning alongside their students;

  • classrooms transform into laboratories for tackling real-world problems;

  • travel opportunities expand students' worldviews, opening up new avenues for thinking;

  • world languages are considered essential rather than supplemental;

  • social courage results in real change;

  • imagination ignites every classroom;

  • meaningful learning knows no bounds, artificial ceilings, or imposed standards; and...

  • no one waits to learn.

Because MIS sees, meets, and challenges all students where they are - turning differences into strengths, quirks into capabilities - our students come into their own potential as they grow in self-awareness and global perspective.

We would love to show you what learning looks like at MIS. Schedule your tour today.
