I believe the program of Knotion is a very complete and challenging platform, I enjoy learning from it as well as the activities and topics it gives. However, I think that there could be a way to integrate more topics like science, biology, world history, and maybe even more programs inside the school like clubs or even activities like MUN or NHS in primary.

I think the school is doing a great job with the sport part just that I don’t feel like some childeren in joy all the activities because they don’t like it or it’s hard so have sport part that they can do something more there style. Music class I feel we only learn song so I would recommend to firts show children a bit more so they families with the instruments. Art class let us express our se,f it’s pretty cool and that it.

I think they aren’t talked about enough. I can remember but a few of the school values, and i see them as important, for students who maybe don’t grow around this values can learn about them and want to integrate them into their daily lives. Though I do believe that we need more values representing us, even though I identify with the ones we practice currently.

I think it have a great point just involve more the students I feel most people don’t know about it. And one more thing I feel sometimes the student is afraid to tell the student something personally or educationally because they are scare just that little comment.

In this section I would just like to say that keep doing the same things because I have been here since kinder 1 and it always has been a great community with all my classmates.

As the academic part is very good I learn a lot but maybe add more competitions or that we can have competitions with other schools. Putting that a side I think is very good. This is just something I don’t they should do just my idea but maybe have abilities so people with disabilities can join the school there’s a lot of people out there who has a disability they can talk or walk maybe add abilities so people with disabilities can join us so they can have the experience of a school must of them are home school. Apart form that it haves a great level at education.

I think that last year this part of the school was great. Teachers are so supportive but in this pandemic many students had problems at home that they just couldn’t resolve and they where afraid to tel the teacher because they where uncomfortable telling them. So I would recommend to make it more visible so that kids will be more comfortable doing this type of talks.

I think the method of communication are very good but I fell most of the time the peace table no one use it so maybe on the way to help them with the problem so something els. And as communication like about news I don’t feel they do that most of the time I barely know about what’s going on. Apart from that communication has improved more and more this has helped a lot. I forgot to add I feel most people are afraid to talk to the children like this example it’s random they are gay and they don’t want to comment because they are scare I feel like most children are scare to show there personality and fellings they are to shy to be who they really are and I feel that teachers should be more invold in that.

I think that school should do more activities and competitions not just work everyday maybe we could do something else about mathematics or grammar or just different exercises.

I think that the school is doing a great job in including activities like sports and arts because it lets kids express themselves personally I’m a kid which loves being creative but I also understand that not all students are like this and some may struggle in this section. I would recommend to make activities like sports not that difficult for kids. For example I am not very good at doing elastic things but we had to do some tasks that involved that.

Mia Julieta

# data[].attributes.body
Thinking back to normal years, I believe the activities and projects could fit everyone’s abilities and likings. However, I believe that due to the current pandemic and online classes, this extra classes, especially sports class, have become rather boring. I know there is little to be done, but back when we did go to school, all extra classes were fun and entertaining so I hope they stay that way when we go back.

Technology is being advanced with the year we started using iPad and new technology to help the environment I just have a recommendation I have notice that on middle school the academic work is harder or more advanced what I have heard from my sister and I think the iPad and knotion makes it easier I think they could increase the difficulty put iPads on middle school still use somos books but I think they can increase the difficulty on iPad so they can put the program in middle school. I think this is a good idea it help the environment a bit more. And I think the teacher should get a class about technology because sometimes we help our teachers to figure things out we don’t mind to help but just so they can get a bit more experience with them.
Valentina Mendoza Galván

# data[].attributes.body
Technology has improved a little bit since we are in online classes but I think this class doesn’t matter a lot on online because the teacher doesn’t explain very well and if you don’t understand she can’t help you like she did in normal school. I also think that the activities we do are repetitive and boring because we already know about the topic and doesn’t help us at all.

I think IAS is great school even in communication when your knew your always nervous going there people treat you so nice it feels like a family.  Even when you are from another country  or  culture people want to know about and don’t bully you about it. In my class I have people from places all over the world I learn about different thing. You can come here with a different language or culture and they accept and they try to understand and I love that it’s like a big family. Bullying it’s something I don’t seen often maybe 1 or 2 but it always fix and I love that they concentrate on use our health emotionally and educationally.

I think that sports, art and music are not very interesting online because they don’t put activities that are interesting or something fun. Music for me doesn’t teach music it’s must just things that won’t help us, I think we Sophocles learn more about how to play something in the piano. And art we make cool things but the teacher doesn’t teach us how to do it she just says like, do it and uploaded like she doesn’t explain the activities very well.

I.A.S  in my point of view is very dedicated in academic wise. Everything is well done in this section one of the things that I think I.A.S has improved this year is the teacher feedback. Last year when we had a presentation we normally just uploaded our work and that’s it, I had no idea of what could I improve on or maybe something that I should start doing more. In this year after every presentation we do a round of feedback and constructive criticism. I think that the school should ad this type of work to all the grades so that all students can improve.

the community at IAS is amazing when you enter the school for the first time you feel at home definitely one of the best things about school.

I think that is a good Method how the school is working online , but will like to add another platform that has no relationship with google, ( I know that algebraix can be a option but  I think is already so charge with the grades and ect ) Because the school is depending so much on google and if the platforms of google collapse we don't have an external platform to continue with the clases .

I believe IAS has a lot of activities were our school unites and can see each other, even though this year wasn’t the best for this we still went through this year and made some online activities. If next year is going to be like this, maybe we will have to motivate people to participate on our activities.

I think the school adapted very well to the pandemic. Google classroom works great but sometimes has problems. What I would recommend is that the teachers give you another option to deliver your homework if  classroom dose not work.

Technology has improved a lot since this year was all online, teachers and students had to use a lot more of this, I understand teachers were not born with this technology and it’s almost new for them but maybe a zoom session for teachers at the beginning of the year to teach them how to use new apps or updates will be good.

# data[].attributes.body
From my point of view the Pillars of characters are more present in Primary , than high school and from my first year on high school, I didn't see much participation in it , maybe because we are online and it is not seen as much as in person. I would like the school to be more aware of that even though we are online.

The communication is good, every Monday at your first period the teacher reads to you the week announcements to your group so you know what’s going on. Even though the first trimester of this school year we had a virtual homeroom before first period and I think it was better that way, including students were already up and starting a productive week. Also we can always count on google hangouts to ask any teacher if you have a question, but I will like if teachers could keep an eye more on their chats, some teachers check their chat only once a week and they answer your question when you don’t need it anymore.

Even though students might not know the mission statement by heart, I think it is accomplished thanks to the teachers and staff and their way of teaching and thinking, school activities, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
IAS has a great program to fit everyone's choices when it comes to academics. Lots of programs that allow the students to work on their future such as AP, SAT, etc.. What I think that could improve is having more competitions, local field trips and investigations to support the academic program and self-learning. Also, I sometimes feel like topics are very repetitive. For example, In 11th grade we're basically learning the same things we learned in 9th grade. When it comes to History Class, I think it would be better to learn more about what's currently happening in the world rather than repeating the same lesson from what happened 200 years ago. So basically keeping learning about the past but making more emphasis on current events as those events are the ones that will shape our future.

I think our mission and vision need to be displayed in a visual way. A lot of students forget about it all the time, having it somewhere where its seen every day would allow the students to be fully aware of the mission and carry the mission throughout their whole school year. I suggest painting the mission is a concurred place on the IAS campus. Example; painting the mission of the school on the wall that's on the school's entry.

I recommend doing more academic competitions for students to develop their talents. Skills such as oratory, poetry, mathematics, etc.

I have been on 3 schools in Cancun; Colegio Alexandre, Creativos and IAS. And out of these 3, IAS has the strongest sense of community. Our yearly events are what help to have our community closer each year. For example, the IAS Halloween party has to be the best known kermes in Cancun among all schools.

-Andres C

# data[].attributes.body
One of the most memorable things about IAS that I will take with me is the sense of community of the school. Some of the things that help create this are all of the activities in which students and teachers participate, school events (MUN, IAS Idol), student groups such as student council and NHS. Also the size of the school is very good since everyone gets to know everyone eventually. I really hope IAS will continue like this and that the next generations will experience it. I would describe IAS's identity as a family of global, open-minded students with a great academic level and a very good attitude.

# data[].attributes.body
I think IAS has a great variety of sports. As years go by more improvement comes, so we're going in a good way. However, I feel like we need more extracurriculars or clubs that are not related to only sports.

-Andres C

# data[].attributes.body
I think sports at IAS are not something wow. For example, when we had a game nobody knew about it and only a few moms went to see. I feel that they are not something that excites much.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never participated in any school sports, however, during electives I was in art for a few years. I think IAS has a good variety of activities available for every student's taste. The only thing I would change is I would make them more visible. I vaguely remember announcements about the activities available and maybe a list somewhere, but i think they should make it more present so students know what options they have.

Pillars of Character are a HUGE success in IAS. Lots of activities to learn about them are what help strengthen this.

I think that they were much more present when we were physically in school because of the t shirt colors and activities as constant reminders. Besides that, I think that they are enforced by the teachers and staff, and are a big part of the school environment.

Google classroom has been a great platform for school work, and i feel that most teachers have integrated technology well into projects, homeworks, etc.

Because of online classes, technology has been more integrated in school. I like it and i hope it continues.

Technology has improved a lot in the IAS community thanks to COVID-19. I would love IAS to preserve the same path we're following now., for example, turning all the assignments via Google Classroom. Something VERY important would be to continue taking care of the environment and eliminating the homework that teachers require to be printed.

If I'm honest, I have not heard from the pillars this year, not that I remember. I know them because of last years.

# data[].attributes.body
The communication is good, I mostly get notified through email or algebraix messages, however, i think the school should agree on one platform where teachers must be available, especially when we are in online mode so students can communicate with them quickly. Also, if notifications are being sent out in Algebraix sometimes and email other times, i think they should be sent out in both.

# data[].attributes.body
I've had good experiences communicating with teachers for the most part, there are some who sometimes are very specific with what platforms they use. Or sometimes, I feels like they put excuses for not seeing the message confusing us with the time limit at which they see our messages. (This one happens with Miss Ana). For the most part teachers use the platforms for communication and online support is a great way of communicating with teachers, I feel like maybe the platforms should be narrowed. And help the one or two teachers who still struggle with communication.

# data[].attributes.body
Having an email sent out to all teachers defeats the purpose of having an efficient and one-way communication from the Administration and Students. It would be easier and less "telefono descompuesto" to have an administration member record a 2-minute video daily with all the announcements to be played during homeroom times. That would allow the administration to deliver information clearer.

IAS community is like a family. I have two different perspectives as I have been to two school and I definitely prefer the IAS community.  As the other person said, we are known because of the academic excellence and be united, and I love that!

# data[].attributes.body
I believe IAS has a huge sense of community, we are known to be different from all the other schools in Cancun for various aspects, mainly academic excellence and good behavior. I believe that with eagle houses we could have way much more activities and open up to new activities proposed by students to have a more interactive year and have more activities within our eagle houses. I feel like it is treated like a big deal when you come in, in 7th grade, but you slowly forget about it because there is not a lot of activities involving it afterwards.

# data[].attributes.body
The program at IAS is very good considering it aims to integrate the mexican and U.S. programs as well as keep an international and multicutural environment, however, I (personally) think it could improve it's math program in the sense that sometimes topics tend to overlap which leads to important things being left out, etc. Also, I feel that there needs to be more support for students who choose to take AP courses in the sense of giving the option to take more AP classes AT SCHOOL with a teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
IAS works a lot with values, we have them as a constant remainder through monthly activities, in our weekly quotes through announcements, and they are embraced by teachers in the classes.

I know what is happening and can communicate with my teachers and staff in the school through announcements, assemblies, emails, Online Support, and Algebraix.

I believe IAS has a well sense of communication when it comes to getting in touch with your teacher. Although I do believe that we have a lot of platforms that are not well integrated into the IAS Ecosystem, for example; we have Google chat, Classroom, Algebraix, Email, Facebook Page, etc...

I would recommend to use Algebraix more but making some changes in the platform. Personally, I used to prefer when teachers used to put all the assignments on Algebraix, it was way more organized and seamless. I would like to see the implementation of a "chat" in algebraix and a section where announcements could be sent out that's not a normal message.  It would also be very nice to have somewhere at the school where you could see the announcements at any time. (for example, a small TV screen in the hallway with the announcements for the week.

Yo me entero de lo que pasará por student council, Algebraix o porque miss Jamye los Lunes nos dice. Los maestros nos dicen de webinars y así pero no de announcements, solo Jamye. Como no muchos checan sus mails, yo recomendaría que los maestros del primer periodo al principio den los announcements. Online support es una gran manera de comunicarnos con los profesores, fue muy buena idea.

This year, with COVID-19, we have been completely online, which helped boost the tech knowledge on us as students and greatly greatly on teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
From what I remember there is Martial arts, I think volleyball, football and PE for 7th 8th and 9th grade for sports. And there are electives like Crafts and Art class for Art. I do not participate in any of these. My interest is more on music or in writing, maybe more options for electives can be made. I also feel like homework interrupts with extracurricular activities. I think There should be a survey to see how many students have extracurricular activities and talk to the teachers to make a plan according to the results. It has been difficult for me this year to organize myself when we had to do projects, or homeworks when I also had to worry about my extracurricular activities.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe IAS is great following and helping us improve academically. There is always opportunities to get a new learning experience, like APs, and electives. However, I do believe that being an American School, more APs on campus led by a teacher should be given as a choice. We know that there isn't a big amount of people taking APs but the number could increased by adding a tutor to help, instead of doing it by yourself. Doing APs independently is way more challenging that following a class.
