Mission Statement

Miras International School Almaty provides high quality education based on integrated Kazakhstani and International Standards in a multilingual environment devoted to empowering every student to become an internationally minded life-long learner with a shared responsibility for the Globe.

School Philosophy

MIS believes that what students learn at school should have meaning and relevance in real-life contexts. MIS promotes the skills and attitudes of community and global citizenship. MIS is committed to an ongoing programme of review to maintain the school’s high standards.

Our programmes and practices are motivated by the following beliefs:

Student Development

Complete education develops students socially, intellectually, physically and aesthetically to prepare them for life in a rapidly changing world. At MIS, students are encouraged to develop the skills and attitudes to become caring, committed and contributing citizens with respect for individuals, other cultures and the world.

Social and Cultural Integration

The school community has a strong respect for, and appreciation of, cultural differences and human rights. Through the International Baccalaureate programmes, all students are part of a uniquely international community, which has at its core mutual respect and a tolerance for difference. We recognize the importance of the Kazakh language and culture and endeavour to promote these.

Acquired Knowledge and Learning Potential

A quality education recognizes the uniqueness of each student, the importance of acquiring knowledge and skills, IB Learner Profile attributes and the awareness that students must be encouraged to reach their full potential.

A Challenging Curriculum

The best school curricula are challenging and engaging while including a variety of instructional methods to fulfill the needs of students with different aptitudes. Our learning activities nurture curiosity and creativity, encourage intellectual risk-taking, and develop critical and independent thinking.

A Qualified and Enthusiastic Staff

All educators at MIS are highly competent and dedicated professionals who model the IB Learner Profile attributes and help students identify and develop their talents within the school and community. MIS is committed to the continuous professional development of its staff.

A School Community

An international school is a strong and cohesive community of faculty, staff, families and students that encourages the development of the skills and attitudes of responsible citizenship. We actively seek the involvement and co-operation of parents and the community.

Accountability

Teachers, administrators, students and parents work together towards these educational goals and are accountable for student learning.
