2006: ISM is awarded reaccreditation
In 2006 we were pleased to announce ISM's re-accreditation by the Council of International Schools and by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
In reaching their decision, CIS Board Members took into account the fact that the Visiting Team made a number of commendations, including these examples:
The Visiting Team Report also contains a large number of recommendations which ISM will need to address in the coming years.
"What stands out in the Visiting Team’s mind regarding its visit to ISM is a constant vision of the happy, articulated, animated and friendly children who comprise the School’s Student Body. At ISM, confident, friendly children and young people greeted the Visiting Team members with both courtesy and curiosity. Visiting Team members have remarked on a number of occasions during the week regarding the quality of the Students at the School and the ISM community can be justly proud of the ISM Student, by which is meant those Students exhibiting the traits, attitudes and dispositions that we know the School values."
"... for many of those with whom Visiting Team members spoke at ISM, good is not good enough, and it is the Visiting Team’s earnest desire that this School will reaffirm its commitment to excellence and move along the pathway which it has so wisely chosen for itself in its new Statement of Mission, Philosophy and Objectives."
