Students from Grades 3-8 take the ISA (International Schools' Assessment) yearly. Kindergarten students participate in the Baseline diagnostic to determine their starting points and growth metrics for their first year at school. Grade 8 students take the PSAT in preparation for high school.
Students typically score at or above average on the PSATs. Based on ISA results, we are typically above the international average in all subject areas.
In addition to Japanese, which is part of our main curriculum, we have offered an additional range of foreign language classes over the years in our Electives system, including Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Greek, and Dutch. These additional elective classes, however, depend on what is being offered during the semester and are not a guaranteed part of our curriculum.
We offer weekly Social Awareness classes as a 'universal intervention' in order to practice communication and emotional regulation strategies, as well as to respond to topics of immediate importance for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12. To address individualized needs, we schedule weekly check-ins with the school counselor. Any needs that exceed our ability to support the child are addressed with the family, and recommendations for third-party specialized support are provided.
We have a School Counselor, School Nurse, and classroom assistants.
English as an Additional Language classes are available for ELL/ESL students from Grades 5-8 (Middle School).
