Lower Secondary

A Solid Foundation for Lifelong Learning

image
AISG Lower Secondary (Grades 6 - 8) is a place for discovery and growth, where students are encouraged to take risks, try new things, and learn what their passions are in life.
We place a high emphasis on student choice and challenge, offering your child authentic, real-world learning experiences while fostering a commitment to global awareness. Our Lower Secondary program is designed to address the unique academic, artistic, physical, creative, and emotional development needs of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. Through a carefully designed structure at each grade level, we provide a developmentally appropriate transition to ensure your child experiences a relevant and exploratory curriculum in a climate of high expectations.

Our Grade 6-8 program offers a challenging academic curriculum which fosters exploration, critical thinking, and innovative learning. Our framework is geared towards creating dynamic, compassionate, and connected learners.

Our curriculum is based on AERO and Common Core standards and is tailored to our unique context and learners. Common Core and AERO are standards widely adopted by international schools. For families transitioning between schools, this offers a sense of familiarity and provides consistency in your child’s education. Academic classes in Grades 6 – 8 follow the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP).

We believe our students should be active participants in their own learning with the expectation that they become independent and reflective of the world around them. To complement our framework, a variety of student support and extracurricular programs are offered to enrich the Lower Secondary School journey.

Advisory Program
Our Lower Secondary advisory program aims to meet the needs of young adolescents by providing structured guidance and support. The Advisory program seeks to create a sense of belonging and promotes a positive self-image to ensure that each student is connected and advocated for.

Discovery Program
The Discovery Program is an extensive electives program in which students have the opportunity to pursue new areas of interest in a low risk, low pressure environment. The Discovery Program is agile in design and exploratory by nature, enabling Lower Secondary students to try something new outside of the usual curricular framework.
