American Standards: Building A Strong Academic Foundation for Global College Destinations
The foundation of the Stamford curriculum is the proven American Education Reaches Out and Common Core Plus standards. The adoption of grade-level standards ensures that students have the skills and concepts in each subject for success in the next grade. Ultimately students are prepared for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) or diploma pathway of choice. A particular focus on math, literacy, and sciences helps set this curriculum apart from other through-train IB schools.

At Stamford, students learn through an engaging inquiry-based approach that promotes hands-on learning and the application of knowledge across multiple subjects. Using the curriculum standards as a framework allows teachers to accelerate and personalize instruction to maximize student growth. Ongoing assessments throughout the year ensure students stay on track for successful graduation.

In-Demand Skills
Success today is not measured by grades alone; students must possess the life skills nurtured by an IB education, such as solid communication skills, risk-taking, and daring to ask bold questions. Stamford is the only school to offer an integrated STEMinn program (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Innovation) and Cornerstones (hands-on experience with industry expert mentors). Stamford graduates have an advantage over their peers as these programs allow them to build a portfolio of innovative projects while developing the top globally in-demand skills.
