Adolescent: Junior High & High School

Adolescent Program: Junior High & High School

The Adolescent Program encompasses 7th – 9th grades (Junior High) and 10th – 12th grades (High School) levels, and serves learners ages 12-18. Young people may enter this level when they have fully reached the “Third Plane” of development, which usually occurs around age 12. 

The Junior High curriculum is based on Dr. Montessori’s understanding of the importance of social organization for young people in early adolescence; we emphasize hands-on, real-world work through projects that take us outdoors on a daily basis, on exciting trips to work with adult experts, 

Students in the Junior High and High School program participate in research both on and off campus, as well as a community-based internship in Grade 10. Our Junior and High School students serve as leadership and role models for our younger students, frequently working in all classrooms to provide support and mentorship to our community. IMAP is also internationally recognized by the International Baccalaureate Organization at our Diploma Programme (11th and 12th Grade). To date, IMAP is Madison’s first and only publicly funded IB Diploma Programme.

Participating in the IB Diploma Programme can directly lead to students obtaining college credit.

IMAP’s Adolescent Program is publicly funded by our charter school.
