The middle school years are a time of discovery and transformation. The International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) is specifically designed to meet the developmental needs of adolescents, providing a rich, connected learning experience across disciplines. Students explore complex themes such as identity, balance, and responsibility through projects that blend academic content with personal relevance. Reflection journals, Socratic seminars, and goal-setting routines help students understand not only what they’re learning, but why it matters. At GISS, middle schoolers are trusted with real responsibility and supported in becoming confident, self-directed learners—well-prepared for high school and life beyond the classroom.
