We develop curious students through travel, service, and academic excellence. At CREC Academy of International Studies, we look at everything we do through the eyes of the learner as our students evolve into world citizens. The school is a dynamic partnership of educators, students, and parents who seek to provide a forum for global and international studies so that students develop a caring, inquiring, and open-minded perspective and become empowered as agents of change creating a better and more peaceful world. Our nationally recognized global-systems curriculum emphasizes cross-cultural awareness, knowledge of the global dynamic, state of the planet awareness, and understanding of the consequences of human choice. The philosophy, assessment and curriculum, especially in grades 6 - 10 (The IB MYP years) prepares students to meet the aims and objectives of the International Baccalaureate Programme, ensuring a world class education. Learning is enhanced through hosting of international visitors and foreign exchange students each year. International students apply their classroom experiences through service learning, job shadowing, internships, field study, and senior capstone projects. International students communicate with their peers throughout the world through online curriculum projects, teleconferences and face-to-face exchanges.
