Program
Introduction
Middle school is a period of discovery and growth during which students are encouraged to take risks, try new things, and explore their passions. The curriculum of Middle School at PennSchool is designed to meet the unique academic, artistic, physical, creative, and emotional development needs of 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th-grade students of the Integrated Bilingual Program, and 6th, 7th, 8th-grade students of the International American Program in a dynamic learning environment, offering a well-balanced American curriculum and extracurricular activities.
Recognized by Greenville Area School District, affiliated with the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the curriculum at PennSchool is integrated with the curriculum of the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam and aligned with Standards Aligned System (SAS) for all subjects.
These set of challenging standards provide our students with a well-rounded education that balances high academic achievement with social and emotional growth. By embracing cross-curricular projects, collaboration, inquiry and the integration of technology into all areas of the curriculum, students mastery lifelong learning skills, such as research and communication skills, rather than mastery of a pre-ordained body of knowledge, our students are prepared for life beyond Middle School.
