Welcome to Innovation Middle School!
Welcome to iMiddle, where we inspire students to become curious, globally-minded, and intellectually prepared leaders. Our robust curriculum integrates STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) with a deliberate focus on creativity, innovation, and character. We equip our students with both the cutting-edge digital tools and the personal ambition they need to thrive as active, digitally literate citizens.
Our Core Pillars of Learning
At
Innovation Middle School, every learning experience is designed around five
core competencies:
- Critical
Thinking & Problem Solving: Navigating complex challenges with agility.
- Communication: Expressing ideas
clearly and impactfully.
- Collaboration: Working effectively
across diverse teams.
- Creativity
& Innovation: Thinking outside the box to build a better future.
- Character: Acting with
integrity, empathy, and responsibility.
Our Commitment to Student Success & Well-being
In
alignment with San Diego Unified School District’s (SDUSD) mission, we are
deeply committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and supportive campus culture
through:
- Restorative
Justice Practices: We focus on building strong, authentic relationships between
students and staff. By pairing accountability with high levels of support,
we cultivate a campus culture rooted in mutual respect, learning, and
safety
- Positive
Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS): We utilize proactive, school-wide
systems to define, teach, and reinforce positive behaviors. Whether in the
classroom, the hallways, or common spaces, we ensure a supportive
environment where every student can succeed.
A Community Effort
Preparing
students for 21st-century citizenship is a team effort—shared by home, school,
and the community. Our staff takes a student-centered
approach to learning, placing students at the heart of creating, making,
and doing.
We
encourage our students to embrace a growth mindset, lean into challenges, and
view failures simply as "first attempts in learning." Through
intellectual depth and academic rigor, we ensure every student grows to their
fullest potential. Together, we are shaping future-ready leaders who will make
a meaningful impact on the world.
The iMiddle Way: Every student is expected
to SOAR daily by
demonstrating Safety, Ownership, Attitude,
and Respect.
