Testimonial

NHS President
I am a Grade 12 student at Marist, and I have been part of this community since Kindergarten. Growing up at Marist, I have come to appreciate its unique cultural diversity and inclusive spirit. With my mixed heritage – being Taiwanese and Nepalese – and having grown up in Japan, it could appear that I would struggle to find a sense of belonging. However, at Marist, I have always been embraced for who I am. My teachers and classmates have made me feel like family, and my unique cultural background has been valued and celebrated.
At first, I didn’t fully realize the warmth and acceptance that surrounded me here. But as I grew and gained a broader understanding of the world, I came to appreciate that such an inclusive and welcoming environment is not always the norm elsewhere.
Marist is more than just a school – it is a community where everyone is truly accepted.
Learning at MBIS begins in the Early Years classroom (ages 3-6), then transitions through our Elementary (grades 1-6) and Upper School (grades 7-12).
