We wish that the following pages will enable you

to know a little bit about us. We are happy to

share with you our life and mission. Even though

these pages are few, we intend them to be a

taste of who and what we at Meridian

International School are. We are proud of our

accomplishments and

find that the diversity of

people and cultures

enrich each of us.

Meridian Kids is intended for children of all nations

from 3 to 6 years of age. The Educational program

and all lessons are in the English language,

however, it is not required that a child be a native

speaker or that he comes with a knowledge of

English.

Children learn English

during the educational

programme based on the

British National Curriculum

in a completely natural

and fun way.

Meridian Primary School encompasses Grades 1-6.

The educational programme at this level uses the

experiences of Meridian Pre-school and

Kindergarten to go more deeply into concepts

and abilities while also introducing new materials

which broaden the student`s education. Although

attendance at MIS Pre-school or Kindergarten is

not necessary, those programmes serve as a

starting point which is consistent to the child`s

educational formation.

Science

from the Latin word

``to know``

Science is a foundational

programme in any

academic institution.

At Meridian, General

Science, Biology, Chemistry

and Physics are mandatory

subjects within the Meridian

curriculum.

Physical Education (PE) gives the students an

experience of organized sport. Through this

subject, students learn the value of teamwork and

cooperation and well as the proper way to play

various physical activities while also having fun!

Art stems from very depths of the human person. It

is a gateway to human expression. Meridian

International School values this aspect of humanity

and endeavors to tap into the recesses of the

student, allowing them to let others see them and

their views of the world.

We at Meridian International School believe that

the human person is an integrated being. The

development of the mind is complimented by the

continued development of the body. Music plays

an invaluable part of integrated, personal

development.

Activities are used to broaden the student as an

individual.

We recognize that the process of education is not

limited to the classroom, and offer opportunities to

expand their interests and talents.

MIS was honored to have members of the Czech

Ministry of Education visit us. The members of the

Ministry seemed to be quite impressed with our

programme. Not long after the visit, the Ministry

renewed our accreditation as a viable school

within the Czech Republic.

The annual Science Fair is a showcase for MIS.

Students in the Science and Maths classes, under

the direction of the science and maths teachers,

prepare and demonstrate a variety of fascinating

experiments in the world of science and

mathematics. Since this activity is offered to the

general public, members of the teaching staff

are also available to

provide information to

people who might have

questions.

Meridian daily life

Every day we endeavour to

help our students grow in all

ways. Whether it be during

regular classroom lessons,

activities, or even breaks in

the schedule, the goal of

offering our students an

integrated education

remains a high priority.

M e r i d i a n I n t e r n a t i o n a l S c h o o l P r a g u e

27

Meridian International School is proud of the fact

that we have members of our school community

from many different parts of the world. It is not

enough, however, to interact only with fellow

student and colleagues. We believe that so much

more can be gained for students and teachers

when they experience the world.

M e r i d i a n I n t e r n a t i o n a l S c h o o l P r a g u e

We firmly support trips for our students and

teachers so that they can see the world as it is, and

allow the world to impact them.

Nature is a valued part of the European psyche.

At the end of each school year, MIS provides the

student body with an experience to be

surrounded by nature and foster activities

associated with the out-of-doors. Here are a few

photos from recent supper trips.

We are extremely proud when our students attain

the final goal of Meridian International School -

Graduation. This ritual expresses our belief that a

student has satisfactorily achieved all the

necessary skills to function in the ``outside`` world.

The integrated education is celebrated when a

student receives the Meridian diplomas, a

certification that he or she has reached a

standard of success.

34

This is a time for special celebration. The last day of

the school year brings all aspects of the school

together to celebrate the achievements which

have been made. The awarding of diploma is

supplemented with our annual International Food

Festival - again opportunity for each member of

the school community to

appreciate and revel in a

diversity which unites us all.
