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 in Kindergarten and Preschool are

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.

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.

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.

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.
