QMIS: Innovating Education
Inspiring Futures

At Queen Mira International School, excellence is our identity. Our historic CIS Accreditation places us among 1,500+ leading international schools across 120+ countries making QMIS the First CBSE school in the world to achieve this distinction.

Becoming a CIS Member School in 2016–17, earning full accreditation in 2021, and now moving into the re-accreditation cycle reflects one clear truth:

QMIS is committed to sustained growth, global standards, and continuous improvement.

CIS Accredited School

Leading universities including University of Cambridge – UK, Imperial College – London, NUS – Singapore, University of Chicago and many other CIS accredited universities across the world accord priority to students from CIS-accredited schools. In short, it is a gateway for students to experience international higher education of quality.

Global Standards
Real Opportunities

Recognized in Leiden, Netherlands as a model school, QMIS continues to influence international best practices – prompting CIS to introduce Tamil as one of their survey language in its portal and succeeded in its efforts.

Universities abroad consistently regard QMIS students as high-calibre applicants – confident, well-prepared, and aligned with international learning standards. Admissions teams often note that graduates from CIS-accredited schools demonstrate strong academic discipline, cultural awareness, and global readiness.

Global Citizenship Committee

At Queen Mira, we define Global citizenship as: “Internationally-minded by understanding and embracing diversity in all forms and by respecting and celebrating this diversity in order to foster a peaceful, just and sustainable world” through

  • Being aware of learning about and understanding the world beyond ourselves, our planet and all people with whom we share it.
  • Demonstrating and promoting values of compassion, respect and acceptance for all people, diverse cultures and beliefs. Embracing cultural differences and commonalities.
  • Taking personal responsibility and working interdependently to create local and global sustainable solutions for a more peaceful, inclusive and united world.

With this in mind, we have developed a unique Global Citizenship programme at QMIS which empowers learners to assume active roles to face and resolve global challenges taking proactive, personal responsibility for creating a more peaceful and sustainable world.

Guided by the Council of International Schools and UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, we have created a framework for the Global Citizenship Programme that is linked to the curriculum as well. It gives the students a great opportunity to acquire and develop leadership experiences through meaningful collaborations.
