Curriculum
The curriculum is drawn from International curricula that is continually being broadened to include current best practices from around the world. Special programs such as the Advanced Placement and English as a Second Language are crucial components of the school’s academic life. The English as a Second Language (ESL) program provides an extensive course for students whose first language is other than English, and who need support in achieving English Language competency.
Instruction at the school is in English, Languages including French and Japanese are offered. The testing program includes the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, the SAT, and the International Schools Assessment.
The activities program includes athletics, drama, music, as well as competition in sports, intellectual and artistic fields, mainly in the Kanto Plains Association of Schools. Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 faculty meet approximately every week to discuss curriculum articulation and balance, student learning outcomes, content, skills, assessments, teaching strategies, and learning experiences.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
