Our Mission

 

The International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences (IADAS) at Wilbur Cross High School provides a rigorous, project-based learning curriculum emphasizing independent curiosity of learning and personal growth within a safe, collaborative community.

 

We offer students a full college preparatory, world class education, where students can master skills in cross cultural leadership, science and technology, critical thinking, communication, and innovation.

 

In collaboration with parents and the community, IADAS provides an interdisciplinary, project-based learning environment that encourages students’ social, emotional, linguistic, and cognitive development, while demonstrating enthusiasm about learning and respect for all cultures.
