The Mother's International School (MIS) is a public secondary school in New Delhi, India. It is an establishment of the Sri Aurobindo Education Society, an agency of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. It shares its campus with the New Delhi branch of the Ashram. The school is an English-medium co-educational institution affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). It has featured thrice in the Outlook C-Fore Best School Survey as the best school in Delhi and one of the top 10 in India.

The institution benefits from the serene Ashram ambiance and interaction with the other institutions on the same campus, which include the alternative education school, Mirambika and the pre-school Mira Nursery (which is now closed). The campus also hosts a bakery, iron-work unit, wood-work unit, candle-making and handmade paper unit, vocational training centre, book store, . The school has now added a Pre-Primary Wing after the closing of Mira Nursery and the Mira Nursery building is now the matri store building. The school was founded on 23 April 1956 by founder Shri Surendra Nath Jauhar "Faquir", with the blessings of The Mother, Mirra Alfassa, a spiritualist, the spiritual partner and collaborator of Sri Aurobindo.

The school's motto "More True, Forever More True" was given by the Mother Herself and the school's emblem portrays a bird in flight rising towards heaven. When asked about the date of the school's opening, the Mother replied "23456". And as the only possible date was 23 April 1956, it was this day that the school first opened. When the school started out, a batch was 15 children, but today a batch has 180 students, divided into 5 sections of 35-45 students each. The school has three wings, the Pre-Primary, Primary and Secondary. At first there wasn't a pre-primary, the students went to Mira Nursery School and graduated to M.I.S,but after Mira Nursery was closed,the school made pre-primary sections. The school has a strength of about 2100 pupils with an average section size of 35-37 students. Each grade has five sections.
