Maria Montessori International School (MMIS) - Talamban Campus

MMIS operates on two campuses in Cebu City, Philippines: Talamban Campus, Barangay San Jose, Talamban, Cebu City 6000, and Gorordo Campus, 298-F Gonzales Compound, Gorordo Avenue, Kamputhaw (Lahug), Cebu City 6000. The Talamban campus sits in the Talamban neighbourhood, while the Gorordo campus sits in the Lahug area near Gorordo Avenue. The campuses together provide Preschool through Senior High education across both sites.

MMIS comprises a Preschool Department (with four levels: Playgroup, Nursery, Pre-kinder and Kindergarten), plus Grade School and High School departments. The Preschool area uses a Montessori approach with defined activity areas.

MMIS is a private, co-educational school serving boys and girls across its preschool through senior high programs, with two Cebu City campuses.

MMIS follows a Montessori, sensorily prepared classroom environment; specific Additional Learning Needs (SEN) provisions are not published in public materials.

There is no publicly stated country affiliation; MMIS operates in the Philippines with campuses in Cebu City.

MMIS emphasizes Christian values as part of its ethos and mission.

Weekday school hours commonly run from about 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; a Saturday session is listed for the Talamban campus (8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. in directory listings), with variations by campus.

Public materials do not publish details of a school bus service; transport options should be confirmed with each campus directly.

MMIS delivers a Montessori-inspired curriculum across Preschool, Grade School, and High School, with English as the language of instruction; Preschool classrooms are a prepared environment with defined areas for Practical Life, Sensorial, Reading and Language, Mathematics, and Culture.

MMIS integrates social and emotional learning through its core commitments: the Academic Excellence Program, Caring and Nurturing Identity, and the Values Formation Program. The MMIS home page also presents MMIS Tech, whose attributes include Servant-Leader, Engaged Critical Thinker, Resilient Global Citizen, Values-Driven Individual, and Effective Communicator, aligning with SEL outcomes. The public materials describe these programs as the framework for holistic student development, including values formation and nurturing support. The materials do not indicate a separate, named SEL department or dedicated counseling staff. Overall, MMIS frames character, service, and 21st‑century skills as central to SEL.

MMIS states that it provides programs that cater to diverse learners, indicating an inclusive approach to supporting students with varied needs. The school is PAASCU accredited, FAPE certified, and a CEAP member, reflecting recognized standards of schooling. However, the public materials do not specify which kinds of Special Educational Needs (SEN) the school can support, nor whether MMIS operates as a specialist SEN institution. There is no explicit listing of SEN staff or dedicated SEN facilities in the publicly available materials. The school's SEN stance is described in broad terms as inclusive rather than as a specialist SEN provision.

MMIS uses English as its medium of instruction, and the Curriculum page notes an English-Only policy in classroom teaching and learning. The materials do not publicly describe a dedicated English as an Additional Language (EAL) program or specialized EAL staff. While English language use is central, there is no further information about EAL-specific supports. Therefore, explicit EAL provision is not publicly disclosed in MMIS materials. The absence of a published, explicit EAL program means that details would need to be confirmed with the school if required.

The materials publicly reference health and well-being in the context of nutrition and related campaigns, such as Nutrition Month 2021, which emphasizes healthy living and well-being. There is no explicit description of a dedicated mental wellbeing program, counseling service, or wellbeing staff in the publicly available MMIS materials. The presence of Caring and Nurturing Identity and related values work suggests a supportive environment, but without explicit mental health programs described. For mental wellbeing specifics beyond what is publicly disclosed, the school does not publish a separate mental wellbeing policy. The information available does not confirm formal mental health services on site.

Public MMIS materials do not publish safeguarding or child-protection policies. The Resources section shows pages under construction, with school memos and communications, but no posted safeguarding policy. As a result, there is no publicly disclosed detail on safeguarding structures, reporting procedures, or staff responsible for child protection. The absence in public-facing materials means that safeguarding specifics would need to be obtained directly from the school. The public information confirms that there is no posted safeguarding information on the MMIS site.
