The Benefit of American Standards + IB

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 to be ready for success in the next grade level. Ultimately, students are better-ready for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and universities and colleges globally. 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 IB-centric approach that promotes hands-on learning and how to apply their 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.

Through the thick and thin my school has backed me up and supported me. Due to the innovative and passionate teachers, I’ve been able to unlock my full potential that I’ve always envisioned myself to one day show. I’ve found school and learning as something to enjoy now, and it’s all thanks to the incredible staff here that has shaped me into the young man I am today. One of the most important things I credit the school so much for is how much we preach mental health awareness here.

Personally, I think mental health is something that often gets overlooked, but having a strong mental mindset really plays a huge role in being the best version of yourself. I feel like we teach that really well here at Stamford. I’m so thankful to be a part of this ever-growing community. These past few years have been the most memorably special years of my life. I have learned so much and could not be more grateful for all of the wonderful people I’ve been so lucky to have met on my journey, as well as all of the opportunities this school has provided me to truly showcase my talents. Go Lions!
