| Middle School is a period of extraordinary growth and change. Physical, Intellectual, social and ethical growth is rapid fire and provides an import context for learning - an emerging sense of identity and a value set for the real world application of learning. It is essential that students develop their core expressive, analytical and mathematic strengths at this age. AIS is committed to supporting every student to meet individual challenges and to extend areas of strength. |

| At the completion of grade 10, AIS students will possess the tools they need to thrive in the rigorous learning community of the 11th and 12th grade diploma program. They move on from the middle school program confident and reflective critical thinkers. They will be intellectually and creatively expressive, effective at establishing mentor relationships, ethically grounded, and adept advocates for themselves and what they are growing to believe. |
