Having spent my entire school life from Nursery to High school in Merton International School, I am proud and privileged to call myself a real Merton child of the world. Merton has truly shaped me into what I am today, teaching me values and lessons that I will forever carry with me for the rest of my life. To me, Merton really comes out as a holistic supportive community that strives to bring out the best in her students by pushing its mission and vision to nurture them to become world-class citizens with a passion to explore and understand the world around them through transformative education.

To this end, every nerve of the school structure (the administration, teachers, maintenance workers, cleaners and drivers) is tuned in to support this end goal in their own big and small ways. Of particular notice and personal benefit  is the small class sizes that are ‘learning and socially friendly’ while allowing students and teachers to calibrate at the optimum level of identifying academic strengths, weaknesses and opportunities with the aim of individually resolving these accordingly.

While my parents thought I needed much more time to grow into Class 5, the Administration and my Teachers saw no problem in skipping me off to Class 6 with a firm belief in my capabilities. This decision has not been disappointing for me and neither will it be for others yet to follow. One huge factor that also resonates is Merton’s endeavor to make her students global citizens.

The school liberates the minds of her students allowing them to engage in many learning opportunities such as community service, workshops and travel. Out of these are the several Merton ambassadors in all learning and working endeavors across the globe. I am incredibly lucky to have been a part of the School.
