Organizations Filed Purposes: MIDTOWN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL SERVES GIFTED AND ACADEMICALLY SUPERIOR STUDENTS WHO THRIVE IN SMALL CLASS ENVIRONMENTS. THE GLOBALLY-MINDED CURRICULUM AND PROBLEM-BASED INSTRUCTION CREATE A COMMUNITY OF ENGAGED GLOBAL LEADERS DEDICATED TO THE VALUES OF RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, CITIZENSHIP, AND JUSTICE. THE SCHOOL IMMERSES STUDENTS IN A DIVERSITY OF VIEWPOINTS THAT TRANSCEND NATIONAL, ETHNIC, AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC BOUNDARIES. PROBLEM SOLVING AND CRITICAL THINKING ARE THE FOUNDATION OF OUR INTEGRATED CURRICULUM, DEVELOPING INQUISITIVE, FLEXIBLE, AND COLLABORATIVE THINKERS WHO WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN A KNOWLEDGE-DRIVEN GLOBAL SOCIETY. MIS IGNITES THE EDUCATIONAL AND SOCIAL LEARNING OF GIFTED STUDENTS THROUGH ADVANCED INSTRUCTION IN SCIENCE, MATH, AND TECHNOLOGY; ARTS INTEGRATION ACROSS THE CURRICULUM; DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENT LEADERSHIP AND PEER COLLABORATION; STRATEGIC COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS; AND INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL FOR ALL UPPER ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE, AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

MIDTOWN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL LOCATED IN ATLANTA, GA IS AN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL SERVING GIFTED AND ACADEMICALLY ADVANCED STUDENTS IN GRADES K-12. OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS, MIS HAS EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT GROWTH, GROWING FROM ONLY 45 STUDENTS IN YEAR ONE TO 245 STUDENTS IN YEAR SIX. IN 2014, MIS EXPANDED ITS OFFERING INTO HIGH SCHOOL WITH THE GOAL OF GRADUATING ITS FIRST CLASS IN THE YEAR 2020. THE PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING CURRICULUM ENCOURAGES STUDENTS, ALONGSIDE THEIR TEACHERS AS THEIR CO-LEARNERS, TO DELVE DEEP INTO REAL WORLD PROBLEMS. THROUGH PEER COLLABORATION AND A DEEP CONCENTRATION IN STEAM SUBJECTS, STUDENTS ARE NOT CONFINED BY THE WALLS OF THE SCHOOL. STARTING IN THIRD GRADE, STUDENTS TRAVEL DOMESTICALLY AND IN FIFTH GRADE, THEY EXPAND THEIR TRAVEL TO INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS. WORLD LANGUAGES ARE TAUGHT AS EARLY AS KINDERGARTEN WITH ALL STUDENTS TAKING FRENCH, SPANISH AND MANDARIN. IN FIFTH GRADE, STUDENTS CAN SELECT ONE OF THOSE LANGUAGES OR GERMAN OR HEBREW FOR MASTERY. UNLIKE OTHER SCHOOLS, MIS STUDENTS ARE TAUGHT BY CONTENT AREA SPECIALISTS WHO HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED IN GIFTED EDUCATION. THIS ENABLES STUDENTS TO EXPLORE A CONTENT AREA IN DEPTH WITH GREAT COMPLEXITY, OFTEN BEYOND THE TYPICAL STUDY IN MORE TRADITIONAL SETTINGS. THIS MODEL EMPOWERS BOTH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TO THINK CRITICALLY AND CREATIVELY TO SOLVE REAL WORLD PROBLEMS.
