Sir Manasseh Meyer International School

Welcome to Sir Manasseh Meyer International School. At SMMIS your child will receive a first-class, international education imbued with the vibrancy of Jewish values and culture. Through the teaching of the British National Curriculum Literacy programme; Singapore Maths; the International Primary and Middle Years curricula and IGCSE, SMMIS prides itself on creating a learning experience for students that is rigorous, broad and relevant.

We strive for excellence and use creative and dynamic methods to inspire your children. We are a school that is driven by a moral purpose and a clear vision. We offer an holistic learning experience to enable your children to grow into fully rounded socially responsible human beings.

Your child’s wellbeing is our priority: we promote their physical and emotional well-being, developing their resilience, and building their confidence and self-esteem. We develop children who have a love of learning, in a school that inspires excellence and builds mensches.

We encourage children to appreciate how they are the ‘masters of their own destiny’ and give them the confidence to develop as individuals. Life is a journey, and they are encouraged to grasp opportunities as they arise, mistakes are part of the learning journey and we support the children to have a Growth Mindset.

We believe that as members of a global community we each need to play a part in making the world a better place. The Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam (healing the world) is a primary value that is promoted throughout your child’s journey at SMMIS.

Our Vision:
Bettering the world through a first-class education imbued with Jewish values.

Our Mission:

• To teach the love of learning, guide the heart towards truth, and build meaningful ties with all.
• Sir Manasseh Meyer International School (SMMIS) is a not for profit, child centred school that offers a rigorous International Education, imbued with the vibrancy of Jewish values, tradition and culture. We are a diverse community that welcomes students of all denominations and those of other faiths.
• Our educational philosophy is one that teaches resilience, collaboration, independence and perseverance. We are a smaller school by design which allows us to tailor learning to each child, enabling each child to flourish and reach their full potential.
• Skills acquisition, knowledge and understanding, is at the heart of our teaching, giving the children the best possible start in life.
• At SMMIS we have a strong ethical foundation and engender a commitment to social action, healing the world. Our children are encouraged to see themselves as global citizens, with charity and volunteering a strong aspect of school life.
• We are a school with a strong internationally trained staff body, who ignite a passion for lifelong learning, creative thinking and inspire a curiosity in the world around us.

SMMIS provides a broad, varied, relevant and enriching curriculum with a focus on collaboration and enquiry learning. Lessons focus on the progress of the children through support, challenge and extension work, with individual aspirational targets set for each child.

Our teaching style is underpinned by our belief in a Growth Mindset and our desire to inculcate in our students 21st Century skills, through a dedicated Makerspace. We teach our children to be independent learners, resilient, collaborative and risk takers.

Our curriculum is internationally minded. We use the frameworks of the International Primary (IPC) and International Middle Years Curricula (IMYC) and offer the Cambridge iGCSE’s in Grades 9-10. The curriculum offers students opportunities to learn about a wide variety of integrated topics through an international lens.

We follow the British National Literacy Curriculum and Singapore Maths Curriculum. Ivrit (Hebrew) and Mandarin are offered as modern foreign languages.

We focus on the wellbeing of the child through Personal, Social, Health and Emotional (PSHE) lessons and PE. With our swimming pool, AstroTurf pitch, sports hall, music, drama and art spaces, we provide a wealth of enrichment opportunities allowing students to express themselves wherever their interests lie.

Students can choose to pursue an intensive Jewish Education taught in Hebrew, or to follow a cultural Jewish Education and World Religion programme with Mandarin as a modern foreign language.
