Academic Program

In the Elementary School, children work actively to construct meaning and to develop independence.

Their learning goals include:

• using language for a variety of purposes in a range of contexts
• using their creativity to develop innovative solutions
• viewing problems from different perspectives
• building communication skills and intercultural awareness
• making connections across the curriculum in order to transfer what they have learned to new and different situations

Throughout their learning experience at ISM, children develop the understanding that how they think and feel directly mediates their learning. They develop a growing awareness of themselves as learners, and reflect on their changing understandings. Through a guided inquiry process, our Elementary School students acquire tools and skills in critical thinking, problem solving, and personal management that will equip them for the future - socially, emotionally and academically.
