Academics
Preparing your child for the path ahead
Two way immersion, also called Bilingual immersion, combines language in the classroom. The idea is to get two types of speakers proficient in both languages. We embrace a learning environment that will prepare your child for the path ahead. Our classes incorporate traditional learning styles as well as hands-on Montessori experiences. As a year round Bilingual Academy we provide a rich and diverse environment.
IIMA offers a program that incorporates an environment with small class ratios. We are aligned with state standards for public school. Our program offers a more individual attention, improved student safety, better student discipline and is almost one-half the size of most public school classes! IIMA students will be introduced into the world of science, creative arts, math, and language development.

Our Programs
Infants:
Our infant program focuses on creating a nurturing environment where love, patience, and respect for each child's unique developmental journey are at the heart of everything we do. Through gentle guidance, we help build their confidence as they explore the world around them. Our Infant program engages your child through a variety of activities in the areas of music/movement, art, and practical life activities. Our classroom is set up to allow our students to have freedom of movement and provides an environment for children to explore. We celebrate their growth, offering the support and encouragement they need to thrive.
Toddler:
Our Toddler program offers a learning environment for children ages 18 months to 2 years. Our classroom is designed to encourage self-discovery. Through tactile experiences like arts and crafts, sensory play, and practical life activities, children learn by doing. These activities help develop motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and social interaction. We believe in empowering children to do things on their own, whether it's choosing an activity, cleaning up, or participating in group activities. This sense of independence builds confidence and a love for learning.
Pre-K
Our teachers present the work through hands-on materials that engage the child. It is also the Teacher’s main goal to help children develop their full academic potential. The teacher establishes the “prepared environment,” which encourages, challenges and rewards the curious nature of the child.
Lower Elementary:
Our Teachers give each child an individual lesson plan on a bi-monthly basis. The plan provides a direction for the child and allows the teacher to guide the student in the concepts he/she need to review and learn. The lesson plan and environment may be changed based on each child’s ability to accept direction, independence and other special needs.
Every Student in the classroom have work responsibilities, this allows the class to run efficiently. Our teachers act as role models, and guides. Our main goal is to interfere on the students work as little as possible in order to help students develop their academic potential.
