Admission to M1 is open to students aged above 11 years who have usually completed about six years of primary education. Applicants are asked to attach previous school reports as these may be used to determine placement upon entry; an interview and tests in English and Mathematics may also be required.
ISM began teaching the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) on a trial basis in 2004. This has proved extremely successful and in 2007 the school obtained full authorization for the MYP from the IB Organization.
The programme has been phased in over a number of years with M1-M4 undertaking an MYP curriculum in 2007/08 and our first MYP graduates completed the programme in June 2009.
Students will study the following subjects in M1-M3:
| English | Mathematics | French |
| Integrated Science | World Studies | Physical Education |
| Music | Technology | Visual Art |
| Life Skills | Drama | Swahili |
Students will study the following subjects in M4 & M5:
| English | Mathematics | French or Swahili |
| Biology | Chemistry | Physics |
| Geography | History | Visual Art or Music |
| Technology | Drama | Physical Education |
| Life Skills |
From August 2007 our S1 to S4 classes were renamed as M1 to M4, our IB1 and IB2 classes were renamed as D1 and D2.
