About this school
Melbourne International School (MIS), formerly Melbourne Specialist International School, was established in 2014 to give children of all abilities, including those with disabilities, access to education suited to their needs. It brings teachers, specialists and therapists together, and uses an arts-based approach drawing on dance, drama, music and visual arts to teach English, maths and daily living skills.
The school serves students aged 3 to 18 from more than 20 nationalities and follows the Australian Victorian Curriculum from Foundation to Year 10. Its programmes are:
- Special Needs Education, with a visual and performing arts programme and therapy services, at a 1:4 teacher-student ratio
- Inclusive Education from preschool to high school, with Individualised Learning Plans, at a 1:8 ratio
- HEI Bridges early intervention from 18 months, based on the Finnish HEI Schools model
Classes have 8 to 12 students. The campus at Loewen Gardens in the Dempsey area has air-conditioned classrooms, ICT equipment, a life skills kitchen, an indoor gym and outdoor play areas, and older students use drama, performing arts and ICT spaces at the neighbouring GUILD.
