At the Intermediate (IS) Division we strive to provide a safe and developmentally appropriate academic environment that promotes each student's social, emotional, and academic development. We support the overall school mission by inspiring a passion for learning while helping our students to develop into the global leaders of tomorrow.
The IS program is based on the following core beliefs:
- Respect for individuals and their diversity is essential for society to flourish.
- Every individual has intrinsic value.
- Individuals are responsible for their choices and actions, to themselves, society, and the environment.
- A balanced life contributes to personal well-being and happiness.
- The individual and the community are interdependent and both can benefit through the active contributions of their members.
- Learning is a lifelong activity essential to maximizing human potential.
Based on these core beliefs we have created and implemented a successful academic program that meets the individual needs of all students. The academic program includes studies in the core curricular areas such as Reading, Writing, Math, Science, and Social Science, as well as specialist areas: Art, Music, PE, Mandarin, and Technology. In addition to these academic classes, students are also supported through ESL, Enrichment, Academic Support, and our Counseling departments.
