Compulsory
for all full-time MDIS Students and MDIS College Students
Good academic grades are not the only key factors which

for students.

creativity and communication skills - so that the MDIS student has
CLASS (Confident and Creative, a Leader who is Articulate, Self-motivated
and Successful with a Global Identity).
