Academic Life
We teach children to be creative and independent thinkers. They become strong readers, effective writers, and skilled mathematicians. We teach them that they must work hard and that learning can be fun. IEC’s distinctive teaching and learning experience is tailored to students. We know students; how they learn, how they socialize, how they grow.
Learning confined to a classroom desk? Not at IEC. Whether on the ball field, in the music class, at the soup kitchen, or in the laboratory, our academic programs give students room to excel, develop, discover their passion and realize their potential and solve problems.
Classrooms are spaces of active learning and faculties design their lessons based on the latest research about how students learn best. The proactivity of our great minds extends conversations beyond the classroom and engages students in powerful, authentic, global learning.
IEC’s dedicated and talented faculties are at the center of the educational experience. Archer faculties know their content deeply and draw from the professional knowledge base to develop high-quality instruction, resulting in excellent learning outcomes. Teachers employ a range of strategies to plan meaningful learning experiences, enhance clarity, and check for understanding. They make thinking and learning visible, so every student is challenged to stretch toward her potential. Rather than just covering content, research-based lessons focus on developing transferable skills and concepts to build enduring understanding.
One overarching goal of the academic program is for students to hone strong critical thinking skills and an appreciation for the value of intellectual life. An IEC education teaches students to make sound and reasoned decisions in their academic and personal lives. IEC’s program ensures that children have time to process and reflect, develop strong social connections, and discover passions outside the academic realm.
