 Carol Castro - Principal |
International Studies Academy Fedde International Studies Academy is committed to a rich and challenging tradition of excellence, where every decision is made with the students’ best interest in mind. We recognize the value of each student as an integral member of the school community. With a partnership of parents, staff and students, we are dedicated to making every student successful. |

We are proud to announce our candidacy status for the IBO program. As an International Baccalereate Candidate school, our staff has undergone extensive training to provide students with a multicultural curriculum that addresses our state standards in a variety of ways. Students will be provided with multiple opportunities to acquire the skills necessary to conduct inquiry and research and show independence in learning. Our students will be given opportunities to develop a sensitivity to the needs of their community by doing various community service projects. Students are also exposed to the arts, technology, and foreign language. Our seven period day schedule allows all students to experience these elective courses in addition to other enrichment courses such as band, journalism, art new media, broadcasting, and environmental sciences. Some new additions to Fedde, thanks in part to our magnet program, include a brand new computer lab for schoolwide use and a fitness lab for indoor circuit training for physical education. Every classroom is also wired with a projector and additional computers for student use. |

The staff at Fedde believes that the middle school years are an important transition time for students. We take every step possible to help guide students toward success in high school and college. Teachers provide personalized instruction through their intervention courses that are offered during the day and afterschool. We not only offer the best educational environment but address students social and emotional needs as well. Every Fedde student is expected to be Ready, Responsible, Respectful and Safe on our school campus. Our Ambassador program offers students the opportunity to provide peer mentoring in these areas. Our ambassadors also organize and plan our "Gotcha" week, where we celebrate students who are doing the right thing on a daily basis. During "Gotcha" week students receive special prizes and recognition for completing homework, being prepared for class, being responsible in the lunch area, being polite and friendly with each other and staff members. |
