The MIS campus has the feel of a tropical garden. It is an oasis of peacefulness set amongst busy Medan. It has spacious classrooms, a library, a computer lab, a science laboratory, an early childhood center, two swimming pools, an indoor gymnasium with a stage, an art room, a music room, a full-sized soccer field, and an administration building. We have a fully Wifi campus and a state-of-the-art Apple-based computer lab. Our campus allows for optimal conditions to educate both the mind and the body.
The board has begun an ambitious renewal project for the entire campus. Starting with the renewal of the swimming pool area. In August of 2015, we opened our new science lab to support upper-level science courses.
"The purpose of Medan International School is to provide a high quality, internationally accredited education which places the development of each student at the center of educational endeavors". The MIS library supports this aim. MIS follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum that aims "to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect". In each subject, all students are encouraged to be able to independently find appropriate information to enhance their studies.
MIS believes that the library is the heart of the school, and much effort has been made to create a comfortable environment for students of all ages. The MIS Library is registered online with SCIS (School Catalogue Information Service). SCIS is an Australian and New Zealand information retrieval and cataloging service for schools. This service is very helpful for classifying and cataloging books. It also provides information about the books in our collection. SCIS (Schools Catalogue Information Service) was created to provide schools with access to a database of consistent catalog records created according to agreed standards.
The MIS library has about 16,000 books, such as picture books, big books, fiction books, non-fiction books, and reference materials. There are about 540 magazines, 667 posters, 171 DVDs, 97 CD-ROMs, and about 1300 books for teacher resources. There are two computers which the students and teachers can use for searching and checking books in and out.
