IMA delivers a curriculum sequence, Pre-Kindergarten through 2nd Grade, that is set against both U.S. and international learning standards. Goals and benchmarks were designed to prepare children for the subsequent elementary grades as they progress each year. IMA implements a combination of carefully designed units of inquiry and selective workbooks to prepare children across the various subject strands. Classroom engagements are both teacher-driven and student-led, allowing the children to be active participants in their learning. While curriculum and units tie to specific learning targets, teachers work with students individually to scaffold or tailor content to ensure their individual areas of strength and growth are addressed.
