At C.I.M.S., classes are small and allow for highly individualized instruction. Through the core classes in Literature and History, students learn to become inquisitive thinkers while developing leadership skills. Subjects outside of our core offerings are tailored to student interest and offered through a personalized education plan. All students are expected to hone their skills in reading, writing, speaking, listening, observing, and presenting.
JUNIOR School
Through a sophisticated and challenging language arts program, junior students learn to ask questions, work collaboratively, and engage with their studies in creative ways. Through a range of activities both in and outside of the classroom, students are nurtured and supported intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. Students develop a genuine passion for learning and a strong work ethic, which will enable them to thrive in middle school and beyond.
Middle School
In the Middle School Program, students strengthen their critical thinking skills and gain the confidence to express their ideas, both in discussion and in writing. In the English curriculum, students learn to read more closely and begin to craft and defend arguments. In the History and Social Studies curriculum, students learn to draw connections between what they learn in the classroom and the world beyond it. Students enjoy the intellectual freedom to explore topics and question ideas, all while cultivating crucial skills in teamwork.
SENIOR School
The Senior Program challenges students to think originally and creatively, and to apply the skills they acquire in the classroom to other contexts and scenarios. The academically rigorous program offers students opportunities to explore, take intellectual risks, and examine themselves and their place in the world. The English curriculum exposes students to a range of texts, literary and theoretical, classical and contemporary, while the History curriculum, which is paired with an annual Experiential Learning trip, offers a deep dive into one specific country or geographical location each year. Students emerge as thoughtful readers, articulate speakers, curious thinkers, and ethical, compassionate leaders.
課程簡介
C.I.M.S.是小班制，每個學生都能得到個別指導。透過文學與歷史的核心課程，學生探究學問之際，同時也培養領導才能。核心課程之外的科目則根據個別興趣量身打造，但所有學生都必須精進閱讀、寫作、口說、傾聽、觀察與報告的技巧。
小學
藉由精緻、饒富挑戰性的語文課程，學生學會提問，協力合作，發揮創意投入學習。透過課堂內、外各式各樣的活動，學生在智識學力、人際互動、情感交流和強健體魄方面都得到照顧與培育。學生真正發展出學習熱誠、鞏固學習態度，才能順利銜接初中、高中課程和日後的高等教育。
初中
初中課程藉由討論、寫作，強化學生的思辨能力，培養表達想法的自信。英文課教導學生咀嚼字裡行間的寓意，開始提出論述、捍衛自己的主張；歷史和社會課則教導學生實際運用課堂所學與世界接軌。在探索各個主題、挑戰各種思維時，學生享有智性的自由，又能培養團隊合作的重要技巧。
高中
高中課程要求學生發揮創意、培養革新思維，並將課堂學到的技巧運用在實際生活上。這些極富學術挑戰的課程讓學生有機會探索、勇於犯錯，檢視自身以及自己對世界能做出何種貢獻。英文課程的教材包羅萬象，可能是文學或論述，囊括經典、當代作品；歷史課則搭配一年一度的體驗式學習，深入探索單一國家或城市。學生因此能廣泛閱讀、敏於言詞、富有好奇心，在團體中亦能成為正直又具備同理心的領導人。
