American Curriculum
We have a competitive programme that requires students to use higher-level thinking abilities including assessing, inventing, and analyzing.
Overview
We are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), an American accrediting body. A High School Diploma from MDIS is recognised as a standard of academic achievement by colleges around the world and by the Association of Indian Universities as equivalent to a +2 stage qualification of an Indian Board (CBSE or ICSE).
Early Years
At MDIS, our Early Years Education program is designed to give every child a joyful and meaningful start to their learning journey. We provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children are encouraged to explore, inquire, create, and develop a lifelong love for learning.
Our play-based approach allows teachers to support each child’s unique learning style while fostering curiosity, confidence, and independence. Through thoughtfully designed experiences, students develop essential social, emotional, physical, and communication skills in a warm and supportive setting.
The program focuses on building strong foundations in early literacy, mathematical and scientific thinking, creativity, and self-expression through arts and interactive learning experiences.
At MDIS, we believe the early years are fundamental in shaping confident, curious, and happy learners prepared for future success.
Elementary School
The Elementary School at MDIS is a welcoming and engaging learning environment where students from diverse cultures come together to learn, explore, and grow. We value each child’s individuality and support their academic, social, and creative development through personalized learning experiences led by an internationally diverse faculty.
Our elementary program focuses on building strong foundations in:
-
English Language Arts (ELA): Developing confident readers, writers, and communicators through rich literacy experiences.
-
Mathematics: Strengthening conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills.
-
Science: Encouraging curiosity and discovery through hands-on learning and experimentation.
-
Social Studies: Exploring history, cultures, and communities through meaningful global perspectives.
-
Art, Music, Drama & Physical Education: Nurturing creativity, confidence, collaboration, and overall well-being.
At MDIS, we strive to create a supportive and inspiring environment where every child feels valued and empowered to thrive.
Middle School
MDIS middle school is the bridge between the childhood years and the teenage years. Students begin to get a glimpse of what high school might look like–they start to choose electives, organise group activities, and engage with the world around them creatively and critically. Teachers use a combination of participatory classroom strategies and Google Classroom to ensure that students learn in an engaging environment.
With the help of our homeroom teachers, each student also gets individualised attention and care. No matter what the question or concern, students will always have help and support.
High School
The MDIS High School program provides a strong university preparatory education that equips students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed for success in higher education and beyond. Through a rigorous and globally focused curriculum, students are encouraged to think critically, communicate effectively, and become independent learners prepared for an evolving world.
Students graduate with the MDIS High School Diploma, which is internationally recognized as a foundation for university admission worldwide. The diploma is also recognized by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) as equivalent to the Indian 10+2 qualification offered by boards such as CBSE and ICSE, allowing graduates to pursue higher education opportunities in both India and abroad.
MDIS students consistently achieve strong results in Advanced Placement (AP) courses, SAT examinations, and ACT assessments, reflecting the school’s commitment to academic excellence and college readiness. Through personalized guidance and a supportive learning environment, students are empowered to pursue pathways aligned with their interests, goals, and aspirations.
AP Courses
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program, offered by the College Board in the United States, gives students the opportunity to experience rigorous, college-level coursework while still in high school. AP courses are designed to strengthen critical thinking, analytical writing, problem-solving, and academic independence, preparing students for the demands of university education.
Recognized by leading universities worldwide, AP courses reflect a student’s academic readiness and commitment to excellence.
At MDIS, students can choose from a variety of AP courses taught by experienced, College Board-approved educators. Our offerings include AP English Language & Composition, AP Calculus, AP World History, AP Art, AP Microeconomics, AP Physics, and AP Statistics, among others.
MDIS is also an official AP Examination Center, conducting College Board AP exams annually in May.

English as a Second Language (ESL)
At MDIS, we understand that every student’s learning journey is unique. Our English as a Second Language (ESL) program is thoughtfully designed to support students whose first language is not English, helping them build confidence, communication skills, and academic fluency in a supportive learning environment.
Led by experienced and trained ESL educators, the program supports students from Elementary through High School with personalized instruction tailored to their individual language needs. Through focused guidance and immersive learning experiences, students develop the skills necessary to succeed academically and socially within an English-speaking environment.
Students may be recommended for the ESL program during the admissions process based on their assessment results, ensuring they receive the appropriate level of support from the very beginning of their MDIS journey.
