Students at MIS have the option of graduating in any of the two below-mentioned international educational systems:
MIS offers American curriculum from KG to Gr. 12 that leads the students to achieve the American High School Diploma (AHSD). It will require at a minimum 18 credit hours, the continued study of 8 core subjects and a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) 2.4 out of 4.
The student should pass the Islamic Studies (for Arab Muslims and non-Arab Muslims) and Arabic for Arabs and Special Arabic for non-Arabs in Grades 10, 11, and 12, according to relevant laws and decisions in UAE.
Credit hours are developed in course areas aligned to “Common Core State Standards” (California) in the teaching of English, Mathematics and the Humanities, and the “Next Generation Science Standards” (NGSS) in the teaching of Sciences and the Social Studies. The student must successfully pass the Grades (10, 11, and 12) with at least five (5) subjects completed in each of the preceding Grades, with a grade of at least “D” of 60% in each subject. The selection of courses is subject to change based on the instructions from the educational authorities in UAE, specifically from SPEA. We prepare our students to sit for the international exams (MAP, ACT, SAT etc.) that facilitate them for academic and professional studies at universities globally.
