MDID originated from Mingdao's Global Citizenship Program (GCP), established in 2007 to broaden options for students seeking overseas study. In 2012, the GCP program evolved into Mingdao International Department (MDID). Starting in 2014, MDID functioned as an IB candidate school to prepare facilities, leadership, and the entire school community to seek authorization to deliver the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) for Grades 7-10 and the Diploma Programme (DP) for Grades 11-12. MDID received DP authorization in May 2018 and MYP authorization in January 2019, and gained Career-related Programme (CP) authorization in 2023. By 2024, MDID was the only international school in Taichung and southern Taiwan authorized to offer CP.

The MDID events calendar highlights activities such as Model United Nations (MDMUN), debates, public-speaking clubs, and athletic matches.
