Since MBIS aims at providing high-quality experiential education to every child, the context within which learning occurs is of great significance. A classroom needs to be a happy and happening place.
At MBIS every classroom has a public address system, display and writing boards, interactive smart-boards, custom made furniture, a provision for broadband internet connection and air conditioning.
The physical environment is in keeping with the age group of the class it caters to. Lockers are provided to students of the senior school for storage of books and other learning material so that they don’t have to carry a heavy bag to school.
The classes are spacious so that there is enough room to move around and do group activities, play games and have fun as well learn without running into each other.
At MBIS, we believe that the library is an all-encompassing, forthcoming and proactive learning area. Most educational centres use their library for curriculum support, but that would limit its profile. Delivered effectively and used to its potential, the library can play a constructive role in moulding the personality of a student. Our librarian works closely with teachers on curriculum support, especially with the Unit of Inquiry. Presently we have a collection of over 9000 items which includes books, DVDs and other audio-visual material, flashcards etc. The collections include books for every age group in the appropriate formats from cloth books, board books, flap books, pop-up books catering to all age groups.
Practical work is the most important factor in the study of science. MBIS provides independent and very well-equipped laboratories for Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The laboratories are up-to-date, equipped with audiovisual teaching aids, learning kits and the best apparatus for conducting experiments as per the requirements for the International curriculums offered at the school. Each lab has a demonstration table with a workstation for the teacher, an interactive smartboard and an LCD projector.
Enough space to accommodate students at a stretch with an uncompromising adherence to safety specifications and they are well maintained to provide a hygienic environment for the students. All labs are equipped with customized furniture to enhance the learning experiences of our budding scientists.

Digital Literacy requires critical thinking skills, an awareness of the necessary standards of behaviour expected in online environments and an understanding of the shared social issues created by digital technologies.
The ICT lab is a multipurpose technology and collaborative workspace located at MBIS where we focus on developing the digital skills of our students through Basic Computer Literacy, the Ability to Backup, Experience of Online Project work and Social Networking skills.
In order to nurture the creativity of the students at an early age, we introduce ICT at the Junior KG level progressing up to Grade 12.
To make sure that the students are equipped with the right digital skills, every grade has a pre-defined ICT curriculum which the child has to master by the time she completes that academic year.
Knowledge of Basic and Advanced features of the Drawing Application, Document Production, Data Analysis, Data Manipulation, Presentations and Website Authoring are the key features of the Middle and High School curriculum.
Online research skills are crucial for students. Besides understanding how to use search engines, identify legitimate resources, fact–check information and citing online sources in papers is emphasized through digital as well as social networking skills. After all, these virtual classroom etiquettes help the child beyond high school.
The MBIS ICT lab not only limits itself to the standard academic curriculum but also caters to the needs of the students who are interested in pursuing their Graphic Design Skills. We partner with ‘Giant Wheel’, which specializes in training students for Web Designing, 3D animation, Graphics and Visualization.
The lab is dedicated to meeting the teaching, learning and research needs of the staff and students for various academic activities like term-end culminations, Annual Day backdrops and sound editing, art festival presentations, teacher training programs and much more.
