Manor Hall International School

Manor Hall International School prides itself on being the first school in the area to be awarded the WASC accreditation (Western Association of Schools and Colleges). MHIS is a school with grades ranging from KG-4 through 12th. With approximately 600 students, Manor Hall prides itself on being a unique and caring school atmosphere.

At MHIS, we place a huge value on creativity and creating an educational program that will help our students fall in love with learning. We also believe community is everything when it comes to learning; hence, we have built a healthy, warm, safe and nurturing environment. Our founders considered their past and built the kind of system they wish they had growing up.

Innovation at MHIS takes two major forms. The most well known concept for innovation is to create a new way or idea that changes the way something is done. This process is generative and is typically demonstrated by making something new. Manor Hall has a number of innovative practices happening in the school that are unique and innovative in this regard.

The second concept of innovation is to simply improve something that already exists in the world. This less-familiar concept of innovation is more novel. This type of innovation is really important. For example, if a developer can create a new battery for an IPhone that is ten cents less expensive and lasts on average 48 minutes longer, this “small improvement” can shift and change a whole market.

At Manor Hall, we want staff and students to engage in both of these types of innovation. It’s the big idea and the small improvement that can both change the world.

As a leading international school in Al Ain, MHIS has two operating systems – a traditional teaching and learning operating system that operates reliably and efficiently to execute and deliver on our mission every day, and a research and development operating system that resembles a network. R&D at MHIS focuses on sustained innovation for relevant learning.
