Our objective at MKIS is to ensure academic excellence in a safe environment, where our parent and teacher community supports learners. Our exceptional contingent of qualified teaching staff is committed to providing the optimum educational experience through a differentiated instructional approach. Our classrooms offer a multitude of approaches to what students learn, how they learn it, and how they demonstrate what they have learned, tapping into multiple intelligence theory by allowing students to excel in their areas of strength, whether that be through artistic media presentation, dance, drama and musical performance, written expression, academic accomplishment, scientific research, or speaking in a public forum.
