Myanmar International School Yangon

MISY is a school which caters for students of all ages in Yangon, the Burmese (Myanmar) commercial capital city. The school was founded in 2009 and offers the English National Curriculum from the Early Years Foundation Stage up to the International GCSE and Advanced level. The school is accredited by the University of Cambridge Examinations Syndicate. The school has an enviable reputation for its excellent IGCSE and A-Level results. The student body comprises mainly of local nationals, with some expat students including children of diplomatic families and employees of the growing number of foreign corporations, as well as NGOs. The attraction of the externally graded A level examinations have seen students moving to MISY from other schools in the city: this has raised the profile of the school and widened the geographical spread of alumni at world universities. At present, over 30 students are studying up to four A level examinations. A level students have a full academic schedule as well as a built-in community service programme. The school is active in community service and regularly supports local charities, ranging from flood relief in Myanmar to assisting monastic schools for the poor and destitute. The very active student council is deeply involved in this. MISY supports all students' diverse needs through a comprehensive student supports services team.
