The ISK Middle School program is composed of grades 6 through 8. Our core instruction is guided by the AERO/Common Core Standards
Middle school runs from 6th grade to 8th grade and is an important time of transition for students. At ISK, middle school students continue their work in a standards-based learning system while also learning more specialized real-world applications. Middle school students transition from a homeroom style learning environment into a subject-specific environment led by specialists in the subject areas, which reflects the more specific skills taught as the students progress in grade levels.

High School Curriculum
This integrated mathematics course is aimed at ensuring that students make sense of mathematical problems and persevere in solving them, reason abstractly, construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Using real-world situations, students will be required to use appropriate tools strategically. While the use of definitions, calculations, and estimations with the appropriate level of precision is expected and required, it is the ability to look for and make use of patterns and structure that matters most. The course focuses on five main content areas: Number and Quantity; Algebra; Functions; Geometry and Trigonometry; Statistics and Probability.
