“The ranking is a wonderful opportunity to recognize our students and staff so they can be acknowledged for the hard work and dedication they commit to on a daily basis,” said Laura Strong, PhD and Principal of the International Academy of Macomb in an email to Michigan News Source, “At the heart of our success are our students. They come to school ready to actively engage in the learning process each and every day.”
Principal Strong also commended the staff for their involvement in the ranking.
“The IAM staff is second-to-none,” she said in the email, “The time and dedication the teachers put forth to implement the IB programme should be recognized; they create classroom environments where all students are taught to be thinkers. Our teachers not only share their content expertise, they also build strong relationships with students which creates an optimal learning environment.”
