Grades 6–8 mark a pivotal phase where students develop academic thinking, personal identity, and independent learning habits. TAS provides a seamless and comprehensive American curriculum to help students confidently transition into high school and prepare for international academic pathways.

Building a Foundation for Academic Growth and Future Goals

Middle School is a critical turning point in a student’s educational journey, especially within international schools. From Grades 6 to 8, students begin to establish academic thinking, shape their identities, and develop independent learning skills. It is also the golden period to prepare for high school and future university aspirations.

At The American School (TAS), Middle School students learn in a 100% English-speaking environment, following the Common Core State Standards from the United States. The program offers a balanced curriculum that includes core subjects like Math, Science, English Language Arts, and History alongside Art, Physical Education, Technology, and Life Skills—true to the spirit of liberal arts education in international settings.

Personalized Learning – A Pathway to AP and Standardized Exams

What sets TAS apart is its focus on personalized learning. Teachers closely monitor each student to identify strengths and provide support for areas of improvement. This approach helps students not only grasp academic content but also develop effective study habits—crucial for success in advanced high school programs like AP (Advanced Placement).

The TAS academic pathway is designed as a seamless progression from elementary to middle and high school. This continuity ensures students experience a smooth transition between stages while building long-term study goals, including preparation for standardized tests such as the SAT or ACT for those pursuing overseas university admissions.

A Nurturing Environment for Adolescents

With experienced international teachers, small class sizes, and a diverse student body, TAS creates an ideal environment for adolescents to grow—both academically and personally. This is a key differentiator from other schools that may lack a cohesive middle school program or a strong academic continuum.

For families seeking an international school with a clear academic roadmap, balanced tuition fees, and well-defined outcomes for Grades 6 to 12, TAS is a compelling choice to consider.
