Middle
School students are experiencing significant physical, social
and emotional changes associated with their transition from
childhood
to adolescence. The AIS/D Middle School recognizes these changes
and is committed to providing an appropriate learning environment
that supports and nurtures the development of young adolescents.
An appropriate learning environment at the AIS/Dhaka Middle
School promotes the development of close trusting relationships
among
students, parents and educators which results in a positive
climate that supports
the intellectual development and personal growth of members
of our school community.
As
a Middle School community, we believe that our school’s
mission and philosophy is best realized when our Middle School
students
-
pursue
a broad and balanced curriculum that is challenging, integrative
and exploratory;
-
receive
the support and guidance necessary to reach their personal
potential and achieve success;
-
participate
in inclusive and challenging experiences that accommodate their
unique abilities;
-
develop
learning strategies and study skills that emphasize reflective
thought and progression toward the
outcome of independent
learning;
-
work
to develop the capabilities for critical and creative thought
and effective communication;
-
explore
knowledge and ideas from multiple perspectives in order to
develop intercultural
awareness and an understanding
of the world around them;
-
value
the importance of serving others locally and globally, particularly
those who are less fortunate;
-
have
access to co-curricular opportunities in a safe environment
that promote participation,
a sense of belonging
and a healthy lifestyle.
