The world is only now learning what we've taught since 1984.
A leading International Boarding School for girls in India, Mussoorie International School combines academic distinction, leadership development, and a deeply enriching residential experience within a globally diverse learning community.
Established in 1984 by the disciples of Gurudev Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya ji, Mussoorie International School has cultivated an educational environment where young women are encouraged to think independently, lead responsibly and engage meaningfully with the world around them.
Set in the Himalayan foothills of Mussoorie, the school brings together globally recognised academic pathways, exceptional pastoral care, and a culture of intellectual curiosity to shape confident, compassionate, and globally aware individuals.
With students representing diverse nationality and perspectives, MIS offers an education that is both internationally relevant and deeply grounded in character and purpose.

“She came back speaking three languages and rooted in her own. We didn't have to pick between the two; the school had already decided we shouldn't have to.”
Diaspora Parent
“We were searching for an IB school that wouldn't strip the India out of her. We found one that puts the India back in. Today, she carries her roots with confidence while embracing the world.”
