Frequently Asked Admissions Questions
YIS Mandalay prides itself on offering a more supportive learning environment, with greater personal attention given to students than in other US universities. Delivering a rewarding learning experience with the personal touch forms the core of what we do at YIS Mandalay .
YIS Mandalay is a Pre-K-12 college preparatory school. The school seeks to foster the development of the whole child who is a participating global citizen and lifelong learner: one who is academically well prepared, socially responsible, culturally sensitive, and personally fulfilled.
To achieve this, the faculty believes in treating each child as an individual, who develops at his/her own rate. The faculty maintains a close, caring, and nurturing relationship with the students.
The goal of YIS Mandalay is to provide an educational environment through staff, program and setting in which students can continue to grow in academic competence, personal fulfillment, self-discipline, social and environmental responsibility and appreciation of their own and others’ artistic and cultural heritage.
YIS Mandalay is based on an American curriculum and primarily utilizes materials from the United States. We are dedicated to providing teaching that is informed by our research and focused on delivering real-world, experiential learning. In addition, the school offers a program in local Myanmar culture and language and encourages members of the community to share national customs and traditions from around the world. High School students have a wide choice of AP or advanced level courses. Our teaching is outstanding in several areas, and our ambition is to continue on this upward trend.
