"My days at EMIS were numbered. Each day and each moment could be felt more immensely than any other day. From the lowest to the highest points, EMIS was an integral part of me. It was a journey with hardships, growths, friendships, and unimaginable memories. I learned how to be resilient and passionate about who I am and what I believe in. I was able to explore so many opportunities from learning Computer Science to performing at a full-scale Dance performance. At EMIS, I was given an opportunity that doesn’t come around… ever."

Parents
“Mailin is living such a unique experience I wish any student could share it. Learning and living together with friends from all over the world proves to be immensely inspiring and enriching to her both personally and academically. Differences in dress, habits, traditions, or rituals among the students are simply accepted as the other one’s way of being, an experience of global importance in today’s conflict-laden world. Joining EMIS has been her best decision and we are so proud to see her develop her full potential thanks to the great support provided by the whole EMIS community.”

"The two years at EMIS have been an extremely valuable experience for my son, both academically and personally. Being a student at EMIS allowed him to widen his perspective and fortify his tools to implement his own ideas. Living in the EMIS community not only made him grow and mature under good guidance, but it made him become a curious and self-confident young man who wants to do his part in the world. We were very pleased with the way EMIS involved us parents along this educational journey and I am confident that he will not only be more aware of the complexities of the world, but also able to address issues and empowered to turn his visions into reality."
Ines, Jaime's mother, '20

"As a mom, I encourage parents to support their children when applying to this school. I witnessed a major character development in my son throughout his 2-year journey. The school’s diversity and the importance of the mission build up a unique environment that was only of benefit to my son. This experience strengthened his personality in various aspects including socially, culturally, and academically."
