We recognize that collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity are the 21st century skills necessary to assist our students to become the future leaders of society. 

• • Collaboration: We believe that students learn best when they collaborate with others. This helps them to develop communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
• • Communication: We believe that communication is essential for success in school, work, and life. We teach students how to communicate effectively in a variety of ways, including oral, written, and visual.
• • Critical thinking: We believe that critical thinking is essential for students to be able to think for themselves and to make informed decisions. We teach students how to analyze information, identify bias, and solve problems.
• • Creativity: We believe that creativity is essential for students to be able to think outside the box and to come up with new ideas. We encourage students to be creative in their work and to take risks.

Academics

Our middle school curriculum is designed to foster a love of learning in our students. We encourage active learning through collaborative and inquiry-based projects. At Colegio Americano Middle School of Juarez, we follow a dual-language program where our students are immersed in English and Spanish languages while following the National curriculum. 

Our English curriculum incorporates the norms and standards of common core knowledge and basic skills of the United States (Common Core Standards) for a smooth transition to High School.
