Alameda International delivers a challenging, international education in which we act to create a better and more peaceful world through inquiry, intercultural understanding, and respect.
Our art department engages our students with a variety of media, experiences, and points of view to foster balanced and passionate visual thinkers. Our program strives to build creativity and critical thinking skills as well as offer career and post-secondary opportunities in the field of Art & Design through CTE and IB.
IB EDUCATION
The teaching structure at Alameda International follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes for all age levels: Middle Years Programme (Grades 7-10), Diploma Programme (Grades 11-12), and Career-related Programme (Grades 11-12).
The IB structure of learning allows students to:
-
think critically and challenge assumptions
-
think on a global context
-
develop multiple languages
-
ask challenging questions
-
develop research skills
These qualities allow young artists to develop their voice, learn about the world, and challenge the status quo in order to create a new vision for the future.
