The House system is designed to promote school spirit, cooperation, a healthy sense of competition and a feeling of pride in belonging. It supports our work on health and well-being, fostering a sense of pride and achievement across various areas of school life. Students are placed into one of four Houses on joining school and where possible are placed in the same houses as older siblings:
- Oryx (Green)
- Pearl (Yellow)

- Dhow (Red)
Sports
We are fully involved in the Qatar Private Primary (QPPSSA) and Secondary Schools Sports Associations (QUESS), participating in various sporting events including football, netball, basketball, swimming, athletics and cricket throughout the year, both in Mesaieed and in various schools in Al Wakrah and Doha. Our students love these events and are regularly commended for their politeness, attitude and good sportsmanship. We have some very talented sportsmen and sportswomen, with students often selected to participate in National and International level competitions.
Trips and Visits
The curriculum at MIS is supported by a wide range of stimulating educational experiences. During the course of the year there are opportunities for the children to be involved in excursions to a variety of places in the local area. These trips are generally linked to class work and supporting requirements for external examinations.
Extra-Curricular Activities
After-school activities provide enriching opportunities to learn something new, extend particular skills beyond the levels gained through the normal school curriculum, and to make new friends with similar interests. ECAs are held after school, over three days, in secondary and once a week in primary. All students are given an opportunity to spend some time engaged in a club, society or activity designed to broaden their experience and improve their knowledge.
