The curriculum offers a worldly perspective that is often lost in American schools and that greatly enhances the education and prospectives of the students. The student body is drawn from several districts, offering a sense of diversity in each classroom that complements the coursework. While the curriculum is demanding, all of the teachers are extremely attentive and understanding to each students circumstances. Since the school is small, there is a level of transparency and respect between the students and teachers that is lost at larger schools. There are numerous opportunities for extracurricular involvement that the staff encourage, and the small community makes clubs and teams more accessible. There is a common mindset amongst the school population of mutual success, and teachers and students alike approach each other with opportunities that stand out to colleges and develop a sense of personal fulfillment. Unique requirements like enrichments further enhance student experience.
Great community. The community was very open and friendly. There was a significant variety of cultures involved in the school, making it easier to connect with people. The courses provided tend to be taught at a high level, but there is little variety in the subjects offered. In addition, the school was slightly understaffed. The school had to rely heavily on substitutes, which was not ideal for learning. The amount of sports and clubs offered were lacking. The school did not have its own sports team, so students had to play for their own high school to be involved. Overall the experience was average. I personally place high value on a diverse, open community and academic variety compared to sports and club activities offered.
International Academy is an overall great school in regard to its academic rigor and its balanced learning environment. Each course follows the International Baccalaureate, with the Middle Years Program from grades 9-10 and the Diploma Programme from grades 11-12. It has a variety of enjoyable and skill-building clubs and activities in addition to a welcoming and nurturing environment. All of the teachers are focused on bettering education for their students and building future leaders One thing I would change about this school is the physical building. Currently, the building is relatively small in comparison to other high schools and the facilities (such as bathrooms and the gymnasium/cafeteria/auditorium) are underdeveloped. Despite these physical drawbacks, holistically, the school is a great opportunity for students to excel and gain essential knowledge beyond simple education that they can apply in the future to strive for success.
