Project-Based-Learning

MEES Elementary School

In September 2021, MEES International School expanded with the elementary school program. MEES elementary school is an innovative independent school with its focus on project-based learning (PBL), 

PBL is a student-centered pedagogical approach that is dynamic and provides opportunities for students to acquire a more in-depth knowledge through active exploration of real-world challenges. PBL is a style of active inquiry-based learning, and as such, students learn about subjects by working for an extended period to investigate and respond to complex questions and multilayered problems.

At MEES, we nurture independent, confident, and creative learners, actively engaging them in their educational journeys.

We cultivate an inclusive, supportive community where curiosity, confidence, and resilience are fostered, preparing students to make innovative, meaningful contributions in a rapidly evolving global society.

We recommend scheduling a school tour to better understand MEES unique educational philosophy.

Guiding Statements

Our curriculum is designed to give children the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in a technology-driven world. We provide students with hands-on experience using technology and teach them how to use it safely and responsibly. Our students learn programming, coding, and digital design, which helps them develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. We believe that an education that includes a strong foundation in technology is essential for success in today's world.

MEES incorporates the principles of outdoor education through regular sessions in natural environments. These experiences encourage unstructured play, build physical fitness, and promote social skills. By nurturing resilience and growing a deep connection with nature, we instill in students a lifelong commitment to environmental stewardship and an appreciation for the natural world.

English is the primary language of instruction at MEES, equipping students with the skills to succeed in a worldwide context. We value and respect home languages, recognizing that multilingualism enhances learning and develops thinking skills. MEES creates an environment where students collaborate in English while also appreciating their native languages, which enriches our diverse community.
