Our MS/HS is organized to support the core values daily in our instructional program. A rich program of core courses, language and technology electives. In addition to a strong academic program, the Middle/High School offers a wide variety of school activities

At AMIS we are following American curriculum based on clearly defined expectations for student learning and is aligned with school mission and vision. AMIS is following Common Core State Standards which empowers our teachers to identify objectives and use a rich array of instructional strategies and activities to meet students’ learning needs

The curriculum is well defined and includes essential knowledge and skills. There are written curriculum guides for all subject areas at all grade levels included in the school

English

The language arts program is designed to expand each student’s ability to communicate effectively through reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Students practice speaking and listening through regular classroom discussion and the oral presentation of projects. They develop their reading skills through a varied program of independent reading, guided reading of short stories and novels, shared reading, and participation in literature circles. The focus of writing will be on personal narratives, informational texts, essays, and realistic fiction. By learning to keep a writer’s notebook, students will develop and apply literary techniques to enhance their writing abilities

Math

Students in the MS/HS expand upon their computational skills and number sense acquired in earlier years, and apply them in problem solving situations. Fluency with rational numbers such as fractions, decimals and percent’s as well as whole numbers is stressed while studying proportional reasoning, geometry, probability and statistics, and algebraic thinking. Combining these understandings with the ability to explain their thinking and reason mathematically prepares the students for further mathematics and applications to everyday situations
