Maria Montessori International School

Maria Montessori International School (MMIS) began as a preschool following the Maria Montessori method and has since expanded into a full K-12 international school with campuses in Lahug and Talamban. The school combines the Montessori philosophy of independence and self-directed learning in the early years with a more traditional, rigorous academic curriculum in the high school years to prepare students for university.

MMIS is known in Cebu for its high academic standards and its consistent performance in inter-school competitions and national assessments. The school’s mission is to provide a balanced education that addresses the intellectual, social, and moral development of the child. The Talamban campus is particularly notable for its modern facilities and spacious environment.

The school maintains an international outlook while keeping strong roots in Filipino values. It is a popular choice for parents who want a more structured academic environment than progressive schools offer, but still want the benefits of an international curriculum and diverse student body.
