What We're All About

Where curiosity, creativity and character meet excellence.

At MEL we believe that every child has potential to thrive academically, socially and personally, and our commitment is to unlock that potential in a safe, nurturing and engaging environment.

About the school

Our Story

Founded in 2012 and located in Germiston, Gauteng, MEL International School began as a preschool and has grown into a full-spectrum institution serving early years, primary, high school and boarding learners.

Registered with the Department of Education, we combine the rigour of the CAPS programme with a dynamic and student-centred approach.

Over the years, we have grown in scale, refined our teaching practices and built a reputation for welcoming diverse learners and guiding them toward success.

Our Mission

At M.E.L International School our mission is to provide a dynamic, integrated curriculum in an engaging, experiential environment that nurtures and builds upon each child's natural curiosity and the love of learning.

We focus more on the individual student's needs rather than assuming all students are at the same level of understanding. Our modern way of teaching is more activity based, using questioning, explaining, demonstration and collaboration techniques that help our students reach personal excellence.

Our Philosophy / Vision

At M.E.L international school our aim is to prepare future leaders for the global community through an uncompromised commitment to excellence.

From the very start of their learning journey at M.E.L International School, we strive to educate ethical, disciplined and motivated young people with strong cognitive, communicative, and social skills. We achieve this by offering a broad, balanced and innovative curriculum designed to provide an all-round education, from the moment our pupils join the school, to the moment they leave.
