At Multiple Intelligence International School (MIIS), global citizenship is more than just a concept — it’s a lived experience. Our alumni continue to make their mark around the world, and this time, we’re proud to spotlight three MIIS graduates who are currently thriving at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada: Chezka Cardiño (Class of 2025), Maureen Tañada (Class of 2024), and Luis Guevara (Class of 2024).
These inspiring alumni embody how MIIS truly “Opens Doors to the World,” preparing students not only for academic success but also for independence, resilience, and leadership in global communities.

For Chezka, adjusting to life at a world-renowned university like UBC came naturally, thanks to the foundation MIIS built early on.
From teamwork to time management, she credits MI’s student-centered approach for preparing her to navigate new challenges with confidence and curiosity.
When asked how MI prepared her for life abroad, Maureen reflects on how the MI environment taught her about all the sustainability practices necessary to adapt to her new surroundings at UBC. Her experiences at MI — from project-based learning to real-world sustainability initiatives- helped her understand the importance of mindful living and environmental awareness.
Through her transition to studying abroad, Maureen sees how MI’s holistic approach not only prepared her academically but also equipped her with the mindset to contribute positively to a greener, more sustainable global community.
Luis highlights how MI’s international programs and inclusive culture gave him a global perspective long before stepping onto UBC’s campus.
That mindset continues to guide him as he collaborates with peers from around the world, both in and out of the classroom.
The journeys of Chezka, Maureen, and Luis are just a few of many MIIS stories that showcase how the school’s mission — to nurture world-ready learners — comes to life beyond the classroom.
Their success at UBC reflects the heart of MIIS education: fostering confidence, compassion, and competence wherever in the world our graduates choose to go.
