Dear Parents,

 

I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and to welcome you to the International Academy of Macomb.  In case you are not aware, I am the new Principal of the IAM and my name is Eric Sturm.  I have been with the International Academy of Oakland County as the International Baccalaureate Coordinator for the past four years and prior to that a Principal of an IB World School in Ankara, Turkey.  I am very excited to come to the IAM as the new Principal!  The school is entering its fifth year of operation and has experienced tremendous success thanks to the hard work and diligence of its excellent staff and students.

 

At the IAM, students have matriculated to some of the most prestigious universities both in Michigan and elsewhere.  Their success is due in large part to the student-focused curriculum and inquiry-based instructional strategies that are mainstays at the IAM.  The International Academy of Macomb’s mission statement to “cultivate a community of reflective, balanced, and principled thinkers prepared to make a positive impact on our global society” is now a reality as our graduates enter the world very well prepared to make a difference.  The skills of analysis, communication and collaboration that they have honed over the course of their study here will serve them well as they navigate the complexities of the 21st century.

 

I am honored and privileged to be the new Principal at the International Academy of Macomb and I invite you as parents to become our partners as we prepare our students for the future.  I am confident that with a creative, forward-thinking staff and a community of students and parents who clearly embody the qualities of the IB Learner Profile, we can create a community where learning flourishes and students become equipped to positively affect society and the wider world.

 

Please contact me with any questions.  I invite you to stop by and introduce yourselves as I would very much enjoy the opportunity to meet you.

 

Best regards,

 

 

Eric Sturm
