History

The Multiple Intelligence International School was first established as Child's Place Preschool in 1996, by Mary Joy Canon-Abaquin.

It is the first educational institution in the Philippines that has based its approach on the multiple intelligence framework of Harvard-based cognitive psychologist, Howard Gardner. [3]

Child's Place is the preschool department of MIIS that caters to the Preschool Child from 2 to 5 years. The Multiple Intelligence International School (Grades 1-8) was founded to serve Lower and Middle School students. MIIS Upper School (Grades 9-12), was founded in 2007.

In 2012, music researcher Pamela Costes-Onishi conducted a study that evaluated MIIS' Music Education curriculum with that of the Department of Education and found that it had distinct differences in approach and pedagogy. [4]

In 2016, MIIS celebrated their 20th founding anniversary. [5]

Academics and Curriculum

MIIS does not conform to traditional modes of Philippine education. Following Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Theory, MIIS focuses on eight intelligences among their students. [6]

The K-12 program covers 6 years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School. MIIS is aligned with the Philippine Department of Education standards for the enhanced K-12 program.

The school has been acknowledged as a leader in youth entrepreneurship in the Philippines. [7] [8]

On September 23, 2019, MIIS partnered with Smart Communications to hold the Youth Innovation Challenge, at the Philippine International Convention Center. [9]
