Welcome to Global Intermediate Academy!
Global Intermediate Academy is one school with two International Baccalaureate Programmes. Grades 4-5 was officially verified as an International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme during the summer of 2019. GIA grades 6-8 received official authorization as an IB Middle Years Programme this winter. As an IB school, our students have access to courses in a foreign language, design technology, physical education, visual arts and performing arts. The IB curriculum offers students challenging programs, rigorous assessment, and accelerated courses to develop well-rounded students with a strong commitment to academic excellence. Global has a strong school culture cultivated through traditions and relationships. Guided by veteran staff, many of whom are bilingual, students receive individualized support during the day and have opportunities for learning and tutoring beyond the bell. Students in all grades have the opportunity to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities.
