Last year the Perspectives and Mentorship programs were reviewed. Next year Foreign Language, Fine Arts and Wellness are scheduled for review, with both Math and Science Electives programs scheduled for the following year. Program reviews include an extensive report from an outside evaluator chosen collaboratively by faculty and administration. Executive summaries of past reports are available from the principal's office. Because parents are one step removed from involvement in the academic experience, their input in the Program Review process has not been sought.
Parents are primarily observers.
The Academic Committee serves as a means to help parents become informed observers. The benefits to the parents are personal. The benefit to IMSA is that informed parents are credible IMSA advocates in communities across the State. Standards-based learning assessment will be the primary topic. January Intersession will also be discussed.
