It is worth mentioning that since the competition team needs to gather six to nine students of equal level, many high school students from international schools need to join forces across the school and go to Hainan together to participate in the competition and select the six best performance to participate in the evaluation. The Royal Mile team, aged 13 to 14, did so well with no backup players, six against nine, and an online entry. The players" outstanding performance in USAD fully reflects the advantages of the MIS"s holistic education -- a solid academic foundation, a wide range of knowledge, and a robust psychological quality.

"The Royal Mile was challenging and fun, and the teachers were able to harness my full learning potential." Ken, a team member who chose the most severe difficulty mode in USAD, said that the competition requires high academic proficiency—the 18th and 19th centuries happened to be the period of rapid development of basic disciplines such as physics and chemistry. In the competition, rare questions such as the development history of science and the founder of a scientific principle will be asked, requiring students to master the basic knowledge of interdisciplinary and multi-fields.

Integration and innovation
△MIS Graduates
It is known that this international boarding school with a history of nearly 200 years is a pure British international school. After five years of continuous exploration and practice, it has integrated the British holistic education concept with the advantages of traditional Chinese teaching and gradually opened up a "small but beautiful, specialized and refined, pure and excellent" "MIS Path." And gradually out of an "international education localization, local education internationalization" road.
No matter where students come from, their year group, or their learning background, they can find a suitable learning and development path at MIS.
From the campus to the world, the MIS students have succeeded in various international competitions and will bring the MIS values to the world, such as collaborative, enquiring, resilient, and international-minded... It is the best evidence of this pure British international school"s practice of holistic education.
Adhering to the educational vision of "making ordinary children more excellent and excellent children more outstanding" and the educational philosophy of holistic education, we also believe that more and more of our students will enter the international stage, join international affairs, build a global perspective, and become a world citizen with both integrity and ability.
