Group Lessons
In fifth grade, IM lessons are 40 minutes long once per week. The lessons are on a rotating schedule so the students do not miss the same class too often. Students are able to make up missed assignments with the help of their peers and teachers. IM teachers are flexible when conflicts arise.
