Our greatest asset is our teaching staff. The teachers at Mutiara International Grammar School represent different nationalities and a vast collective experience in international education. They possess the willingness, creativity, enthusiasm and motivation to reach all students from all backgrounds. More than that, they possess the influence for students to enter the classroom eager to learn – and leave with a passion to continue learning.

Notably Perceptive

One of the unique characteristics of our School is the camaraderie between teachers and students. As classes are small, our teachers are able to provide that extra attention to their students and get to know each student well. This rare connection creates a feeling of being in family, allowing students to thrive in the supportive environment. Our teachers gain further insight into each student’s learning style and armed with that information, they can guide the students to surpass even their own expectations.

Collectively Strong

Our dedicated teachers have vast experience in international education. Coming from over 10 different nationalities and multiple educational backgrounds, our teachers connect over a common characteristic – a love for working with children. They are proficient at sharing their knowledge on the subject that they teach. More than that, they are united in the belief that every student has a talent, and it is up to them, as teachers, to help identify and hone that talent at an early age.

Continuously Learning

Everyone is a learner. This is especially true for teachers as their expansion of knowledge expands student learning. As such, we provide continuous professional development for teachers every term which involves formal events and activities. This includes in-house, national and international workshops, training, conferences and strategic meetings. Learning can also be informal, responsive to the needs and strengths of our teachers.
