Grades 5-9
At IMS, we teach with relevance and purpose. We believe that students learn best when engaged in a curriculum that is informed by the world around them.
Not only do we prepare students for secondary school and beyond; we prepare them to stand for something. To shape the world around them. And to actively seek new challenges and opportunities. From the math lab to our ropes course, our academic program encourages curiosity, requires collaboration, and values diverse perspectives.

Outdoor Adventure & Education
Whether exploring the miles of trails on our mountain or adventuring to nearby campsites and hiking destinations, students in every grade level at IMS participate in our Outdoor Adventure & Education (OAE) program — a thoughtfully designed curriculum that brings together academics, health and wellness, and fun.

Secondary School Advising
The Secondary School Advising process begins as soon as a student is enrolled at IMS. We ensure every family feel prepared for secondary school applications and are given the necessary coaching and resources to find the best secondary school for them. Our graduates attend a diverse range of competitive secondary schools, finding success in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in life. Learn more about our Secondary School Advising Program.

Our team of dedicated learning specialists are available to work with students in every grade level. Support is offered through classroom push-ins, one-on-one turturing, and small group collaborations. Read more about Academic Support.
