In preparation for the competition, students underwent specialized training and improvement in details such as starts, turns, and relay baton exchanges. Students voluntarily extended study hours daily to complete regular intensive training.

At MIS, fostering the spirit of continuous pursuit of excellence in sports and developing good exercise habits is an integral part of "holistic education." The school offers various sports programs, including fencing, equestrianism, basketball, allowing students to experience setbacks and courage through sports, inspiring them to continuously pursue their potential. Even if they cannot reach the podium, they always have the courage to continue striving.

This year, MIS has successively established four major sports academies, including the Water and Ice Sports Academy and the Basketball Academy. The Water Academy, with the core philosophy of "expanding global perspectives, inspiring unlimited potential," is equipped with top-notch swimming facilities and a professional coaching team, providing various water sports courses and teaching services. Swimming has become one of the most popular mandatory courses at MIS, allowing students to unleash their primal power with a "swimming sense" and develop a robust heart.
