About this school
Medan Independent School (MIS) traces its roots to 1969, when expatriate parents connected with the British and American consulates started a small school in a house in Medan. Known first as the Medan Joint Consulate School, it became Medan International School under its own foundation in 1976, moved to its purpose-built campus on Jl. Jamin Ginting in 1981 with funding from Mobil Oil, and took its current name in 2014 following changes in Indonesian regulations.
MIS was the first school in Sumatra authorised for the IB Middle Years Programme (2002), added the PYP in 2003 and the Diploma Programme in 2017. It is now an IB continuum school taking students from age 3 through kindergarten, PYP, MYP and DP. The student body is roughly 60% Indonesian, 37% international and 3% dual citizens.
The campus has a science lab, an Apple-based ICT lab, a library with more than 16,000 resources, a multipurpose gym and hall, a swimming pool with weekly lessons for all students, a sports field, music and art rooms, and a playground. A PTA, student government and a wide after-school activity programme support community life.
