The school serves students aged 6 to 11, with English as the language of instruction and strong support for English language learners. Mother tongue development is encouraged, and additional languages such as French and Arabic are available.

Visual arts, music, drama and physical education are integral to the program. ISM operates on a villa campus in Oasis, where bright classrooms and dedicated creative spaces support collaborative inquiry, and an on-site cafeteria serves meals.
