Middle School Program
Introduction
As they grow mature, students develop their analytical thinking skills. They learn to find or expand ideas; plans step of action, implement those steps, analyze their findings, evaluate the process and present it in front of an audience.
We extend student knowledge and skills by integrating several subjects to make them more meaningful and related to real life situations and implement them in Plan Do Review, Integrated Studies and Character, Community and Cultural Development.
In classroom activities as well as events, we encourage students to develop independent thinking, open-mindedness and confidence when handling new and unknown ideas and situations.
