Metro International School (MIS) is dedicated to "inspiring hearts and equipping minds to serve God for His glory.” Established in 2002 under the East-West Educational Foundation by Paul Gillette, Metro International School was envisioned to offer biblically-based, high-quality international education to the children of cross-cultural workers in South Asia. For over two decades, Metro International School has opened its doors to families from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds.
The mission of MIS is to provide Christian education that equips international and national students with the knowledge, skills and character needed for post-secondary education and to reach their fullest potential. Accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the Association of Christian Schools International, MIS integrates academic excellence with a strong foundation in Christian values.
The Paul Gillette Fund (PGF)
The Paul Gillette Fund (PGF) financial aid system is designed to support students from families engaged in Christian work who might otherwise be unable to afford this education. The fund also considers students who have faced academic difficulties in other settings due to special needs, social and emotional challenges, or trauma. These students benefit from the safe, nurturing learning environment and academic support MIS provides but may face financial barriers to attendance.
Current Needs
1. Provide immediate support for existing students
Eight students currently benefit from the PGF. MIS is seeking to match these students with sponsors, ideally one sponsor at $3,750/year for each PGF student by March 2025. Your generosity can make a huge difference in one student's life.
2. Build PGF Fund reserves
In addition to meeting current needs, the school seeks to have funds on hand so that it can immediately provide aid to new students who have not yet been matched with sponsors. The goal is to raise $192,000 for this purpose.
Pray for the Metro International School
- Pray that students searching for the truth will find what they seek in Christ.
- Ask that the school will be salt and light in its community.
- Pray that students will grow into servant leaders.
- Ask God to provide qualified, committed Christian teachers to instruct, lead and disciple students, and pray for wisdom for the faculty as they serve.
