Sir Manasseh Meyer International School

A family’s perspective

Parents: Arnon and Tal Mashiah Children: Ziv (11), Kfir (9) and Ariel (7)

SMMIS was a clear choice for my children because it offers a holistic private education tailored based on their needs. With a strong curriculum, small class size and low student-teacher ratio, my children are given the attention they need to shine. The school environment feels like a family – the kids always feel welcomed and accepted. They have made a lot of friends here and enjoy going to school. As an Israeli, it was also important for my kids to stay connected to the Hebrew culture and language.

The children enjoy robotics, speech and drama, and science programmes. Robotics was introduced as an enrichment programme, offering a head start to engineering, science and developing simple machines. The introduction of the World Book Week to the school has created a lot of buzz. Not only teachers, but non-teaching staff and parents are encouraged to participate in this initiative. Students come dressed as their favourite book character, injecting a bit more fun in the activity.

A WORD FROM THE SCHOOL

Our non-profit international Jewish school welcomes students from all nationalities and provides a holistic academic programme within a challenging, intellectual and nurturing culture to empower every child to be a strong, confident and creative thinker that cares about global society. Small by design, the school helps every child reach their full potential through a unique combination of academic excellence, personal interaction and all-round educational support.

WHAT’S NEW?

SMMIS has appointed a new principal, Elaine Robinson, and in August 2018 will take on the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), designed to allow students to make connections between their learning and the world.
