Dear Parents,

You have discovered a remarkable place. Maryland International Day School is a nurturing community where everyone is easily recognizable as partners in helping children to experience excellence in their learning. MIDS is not just a school, but a diverse learning community.

The mission of MIDS informs our actions and shapes our expectations. While academic excellence across curricula resides at the center of school life, the integrated role of the arts, language learning and life skills are within a tight orbit. Our teaching and learning practices focus on helping students make connections within themes, units of study and across academic disciplines. MIDS is one the few schools in the United States to implement a full Spanish-Immersion language program to primary English-Speakers.

At MIDS we are deeply committed to ensuring that our children are prepared for this ever-changing world of ours which requires intellectual dexterity, independent thinking, social agility and responsibility as well as uncompromising character. Just as we strive to continually grow a rigorous curriculum with the flexibility to adapt to changing needs, we are committed to a program of study that challenges our students to be truly fine people and productive global citizens.

The MIDS learning experience is unique and very special. Students are nurtured, nudged and equipped to soar well beyond our doors. I invite you to visit us and learn more about the MIDS influence and how we are preparing tomorrow’s ambassadors, today.

Sincerely,

Esther VanDeCruze Donawa
