What makes a great faculty? Some might say it is professional credentials – we have that, in fact, the majority of our teachers have a Master’s Degree. Some might say it is experience that counts most – we have that, too, with an average of 15 years’ classroom experience per teacher. We would argue that a great faculty is built over time – not only do our teachers have experience, they have it here, at MBIS. On average, our teachers have been at our school for 12 years (not including time some have spent as students here!). There’s a simple reason for this – it’s a great place to work with a wonderful, supportive community of people.
