The Accelerated Reading Program, a pilot program which will be incorporated into all common core classes, will be centered in the Humanities Program. Students also will have had the opportunity to use technology, including a variety of software and hardware, to enhance their gathering, analysis, and presentation of information related to their Humanities studies. The IMS Technology Skills Matrix, found in the Appendix Materials of the IMS Program Guide, sets forth the benchmarks for technology integration into the Humanities curriculum. The Issaquah School District Humanities Program, which includes Language Arts and Social Studies, just completed a full review. This review has resulted in significant improvements in the Humanities curriculum.
Some classes charge fees to cover the cost of materials.
However, IMS is committed to making classes accessible to all students regardless of their ability to pay . Scholarship funds as well as school community service opportunities are available. Please see the principal or bookkeeper for scholarship and community service applications.
