Academics
Our curriculum is aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), a set of high-quality academic benchmarks in English Language Arts and Mathematics. These standards provide a clear framework for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level, ensuring consistency, rigor, and readiness for college and future careers.
The Common Core emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and real-world application of knowledge, helping students become confident, independent learners prepared for a global society.

We offer a variety of Advanced Placement (AP) courses to provide high school students with the opportunity to engage in college-level learning while still in high school. Administered by the College Board, AP courses challenge students academically and help them build critical skills such as analysis, research, time management, and academic writing.
Students who take AP exams may earn college credit or advanced standing at many universities around the world, making the program a valuable part of preparing for higher education. Our AP offerings reflect our commitment to academic excellence, global readiness, and supporting each student’s educational goals.
Our Social Studies curriculum is guided by the AERO (American Education Reaches Out) Social Studies Standards, which provide a clear and developmentally appropriate framework for teaching history, geography, civics, culture, and economics.
Designed for international schools, AERO standards promote critical thinking, inquiry, and global awareness, encouraging students to explore diverse perspectives and understand the interconnectedness of people, places, and systems. Through these standards, students develop the knowledge and skills needed to become thoughtful, informed, and responsible global citizens.
Our science curriculum is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which emphasize a hands-on, inquiry-based approach to learning. NGSS encourages students to think and act like scientists and engineers, exploring real-world phenomena through observation, questioning, investigation, and experimentation.
The standards focus on three key dimensions: Disciplinary Core Ideas, Science and Engineering Practices, and Crosscutting Concepts. Together, these help students build deep understanding, make connections across scientific fields, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.
NGSS prepares students to be critical thinkers, problem-solvers, and innovators, ready to navigate and contribute to an ever-changing world.
