Welcome to IISA Middle School. We are very excited this year to be a Candidate School for the IB Middle Years Program (MYP). The MYP is a coherent and comprehensive curriculum framework that provides academic challenge and develops the life skills appropriate to this age group. As part of the IB’s continuum of international education, the MYP naturally follows the PYP and can serve as excellent preparation for the DP.

The IISA Middle School Staff believe that every young adolescent:

• Should be actively engaged in relevant and challenging learning activities that are developmentally appropriate.
• should have access to the best programs and resources the school can offer.
• has the capacity to learn, grow, and develop into a knowledgeable reflective, caring, ethical, and contributing citizen.
• faces significant life choices and needs support in making wise and healthy decisions.
• is best able to learn and grow in an environment that is safe, positive, and supportive and where everyone is valued and respected. (based on NMSA, This We Believe: Successful Schools for Young Adolescents)
