As for their awards and certifications, MDIS is certified by EduTrust, which is a voluntary certification scheme for private education institutions (PEIs) in Singapore. A private education institution is awarded EduTrust certification if it has achieved the stipulated standards in the areas of management of the school, provision of educational services, and financial health. MDIS was also awarded the Enterprise 50 Award for all its contributions to boosting Singapore’s economy.
MDIS also offers top-notch facilities including their 70 well-equipped classrooms, a number of laboratories for each of their course departments, an amphitheater for art performances and other events, and fully equipped sports facilities.
