I love this school! Not a lot of people notice it till later, but the International Academy prepares their students for college very well and the teachers are really nice and puts a lot of effort. One thing I would change is that I wish we were more open to opportunities other than school and were more aware of other volunteer services or scholarships. Although we were educationally prepared for college, there was not a lot of information on how to finanacially deal with college.
I love that the vigourious curriculum does prepare students at our school for college and forces us to think outside of the box and continuously analyze and connect our learning to other areas of study. But I do believe that the school atmosphere as much as the curriculum that is taught is vital to a positive high school experience. Personally I feel the IA as of this year has been working to promote a more inclusive and welcoming community, however change doesn't happen overnight and it start with the administration listening to students who reach out for help and taking proactive measures in helping ensure change does happen. That hate and discrimination is no longer tolerated or dismissed but punished and set straight that respect above all else is necessary and must be shown to every individual despite your personal feeling towards an individual.
The International Academy is not just another high school, it's a community of kind and driven students, passionate teachers, and wonderful staff! Most people here are genuinely driven to learn and help others reach their full potential. The atmosphere is amazing, especially the tight bonds between each class, and even between the underclassmen and upperclassmen (unlike many other schools)! There are always teachers here to help if you ask, because they WANT to see you succeed. Furthermore, the Olympics we hold twice a year allow each class to battle it out for the title of first place and have a great time! The academics are also very focused and a little difficult at times, but that's the price to get an IB Diploma! Well worth it!
