Our Vision Statement
It is envisaged that students enrolled
at the Mount Hagen International School will always
remain encouraged by their schooling. They will earn
an education of International standard, their learning
will be contextualized within Papua New Guinea culture,
and they will learn how to become productive members
of their community.

The school follows the mandatory curriculum
framework issued by the IEA. Within this framework,
policies and practice are derived from a variety of

The school is well resourced with a
well-equipped library and ample teaching materials.
A computer network operates at the international school
site serving the computer room, the library and offices.
