Middle School  Middle School is a critical and wonderful time for children. Students of this age present a terrific combination of attitudes and skills that can be the springboard for incredible outcomes. Because they have enormous energy and a fair degree of developed skills, there is literally nothing that they cannot achieve, as long as they have the proper facilitation. No other age level is of more enduring importance. Most aspects of adult behaviour, skills, and values are largely formed in this period of life. Our Middle School aims to nurture intellectual development and personal growth in the early adolescent age group (ages 12-14), a time when major changes-physical, social and psychological-are taking place. ISL's Middle School provides students with a curriculum that makes them think their way through each day, analyzing problems, proposing solutions, communicating, working collaboratively, and managing resources such as time and materials. Academic Programs 
Our goal in the Middle School academic program is to help students expand their self-motivation to become successful learners. We teach using a variety of learning styles, while taking into consideration the diverse cultures and beliefs that exist in our school community. We implement certain aspects of the International Bachaloriate program, as well as a combination of the British and American Curriculum of study. The language of instruction is English. Specialized teachers who are trained experts in their field teach all the subjects. Students also have an academic adviser to help aid and assist them when they need advice about academic and personal issues.
