Our Twins graduated with the Class of 2016 .... 100 graduation rate, nearly 100 College bound grads. The Principal has created an excellent path for the faculty to follow so the students become HIGH achievers. Our kids say college is extremely easy due to the HS educations via IAM. We and they are very thankful. Close Quote

I attend this school as a full time student, and I have one thing to say, the program is amazing. I would attend a high school much worse than this if I didn't attend here, the people are much more focused on education than any other high school. The IB degree one can obtain from the program rivals and trumps any AP load in the state or even the nation. My other friends I keep in touch with are so far behind us in terms of material covered, especially in the languages, History, English, and Science. I would encourage all students to encourage their students to attend, yet the program is as tough as I make it out to be and is not for everyone. The average student is to EXPECT 2 to 3 hours to night, sometimes more. The staff though are not hired because they can coach or some non school related purpose, they are hired because they can teach. Close Quote

I am about to be a sophomore at the IAM and there are terrible teachers who dont care if their students learn, it is an easy curriculum, and I have learned nothing during freshman year. Close Quote
