The IHM Media Center is a focal point through which integrated and multi-disciplinary learning takes place.  The Media Center is an extension of the child’s classroom.

 

This fully automated center is an open library with scheduled time for each class during the week.  The library program includes instruction in the use of library resources and skills, including on-line research tools, appreciation of literature, book talks, library skills games, Accelerated Reader testing and actual practice in individual library/research skills.  In addition to a scheduled library class, middle school students also come to the library for a Study Skills class, including an SSAT prep class for 8th graders.
