Curriculum Overview
Middle School is characterized by a time of rapid physical, emotional, and intellectual growth. It is a time where students strengthen their independent learning skills and begin to identify and pursue specific and personal learning styles and interests. The integrated learning that exemplifies school life in the early grades is developed and diversified in the intermediate years. Teachers and students develop meaningful connections within and across the disciplines, where a rigorous, but flexible and broad-based platform for learning is maintained in order to embrace the acquisition of knowledge, the development of skills and attitudes and their complex application in an international setting.
