Teaching approach of the school |
ISM's mission means that at ISM, students do not merely memorize and repeat information gleaned from textbooks or lectures. Rather, ISM's curriculum strives to emphasize a genuine understanding of big concepts, its materials include a variety of sources and manipulative materials, and our assessments encourage students to take intellectual risks and transfer their understanding to real-life situations. |
