“The goal of any educational institution should be same - to strive for excellence and to provide an environment which nurtures the pleasure of discovery, learning, expression and communication, thereby maximizing intellectual capacity and sensitivity of each student. One institute which follows this percept very well is the Mussoorie International School .

It can boast of a history without parallel in the world community of International Schools. It is an institution that is unique in multiple dimensions. It was the first school to be founded expressly on the principles of humanistic internationalism in India . However its foundations and way of life are based on Indian traditions, culture and heritage” – Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan Dr. Shayama Chona
