At MABIS, we employ a comprehensive assessment approach to monitor student progress. Teachers carefully observe students daily and analyze their work to gauge their learning. To prepare students for future academic endeavors, we also introduce them to standardized testing experiences starting in Elementary.
For Elementary and Middle School students, the MAP assessment is administered annually to provide valuable insights into their development. Secondary students have the opportunity to participate in AP exams, demonstrating their readiness for higher education.
Students also have the option to take the YCT and HSK exams for the Chinese language. They are recognized certifications administered by the Chinese government.
MABIS MAP Assessment Results
Students in Elementary through Middle School take the MAP Assessment annually. This US-based, computer-adaptive assessment is used by over 11 million students worldwide each year.
MABIS students consistently outperform the norm group. The charts below show average MAP RIT scores, comparing MABIS (red) with the US norm group of approximately 5 million students (blue), based on the latest available data.
MAP Math
MABIS students have outperformed many of their peers across multiple grade levels.
MAP Math Top Performers
31% of MABIS students scored in the top 20% compared with the US norm group of 5 million peers, 15% of MABIS students scored in the top 10%, and 9% of MABIS students scored in the top 5%.
MAP Reading
MABIS students have outperformed nearly all of their peers across various grade levels for the English Reading Comprehension assessment.
MAP Language Usage
MABIS students have outperformed all peer groups across all grade levels for the Language Usage (English Grammar) assessment.

MABIS Advanced Placement Results
We are proud to announce the results of our Secondary Program’s first AP course. Our grade 10 students achieved the highest score of 5 for their Computer Science Principles Examination, scoring in the Top 11% globally for this examination.
This year, students from Grades 8-11 are enrolled in 5 AP courses: Calculus, Environmental Science, Statistics, Chinese and Psychology.
MABIS Alumni Journeys
At MABIS, we recognize that every child’s educational journey is unique.
Some students spend a short but meaningful chapter of their lives with us, while others remain through graduation.
This section highlights former MABIS students who continued their learning journeys at different schools and are now thriving at universities around the world. Their stories reflect the foundational skills, confidence, and love of learning nurtured during their time at MABIS.
Angelina Feng
Cornell University
Hotel Administration, Class of 2029
“My time at Mabis gave me so many great and meaningful experiences. I remember really enjoying the various field trips we would go on from seeing dinosaur fossils to planting coral reefs. These experiences as well as learning three languages simultaneously helped expand my worldview and become a more global thinker. I also love how the Montessori curriculum puts such a big emphasis on tactile learning. As someone who loves experiential learning, being able to really see the materials in front of me helped me process information better and the independence I gained from picking the materials I wanted to work with at my own pace really helped build my confidence and understanding of myself.”
“Some of my most memorable moments include friendships with Angelina, Jane and Pinky as well as the overnight field trips. I especially enjoyed participating in rhythmic gymnastics and music lessons with Mr. Simon. Most importantly, I enjoyed learning math and the world map using the Montessori materials, which made learning more fun and meaningful.“
