Discover.

At Meru International School, the International Award for Young People (IAYP), part of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, encourages students to step beyond the classroom, take on new challenges and build confidence, leadership, resilience and life skills.

Through experiential learning, community engagement and meaningful challenges, students discover their strengths, build independence and embrace new possibilities.
