About the Intermediate Schools' Program

Avon Intermediate East and Avon Intermediate West Schools provide a 5th/6th grade curriculum combined with the Indiana Academic State Standards that provides the master plan for learning. The courses offered are those required by the Indiana State Board of Education as well as those that the 5th and 6th grade faculty considers necessary for the intellectual, physical, social and emotional growth of students. The intermediate school concept is designed to transition the primary 4th grade elementary student from the self-contained classroom to a two-teacher team in the 5th grade. The 6th grade will consist of a three-teacher team concept. This gradual transition is most conducive to entering the departmentalized team teaching concept of the middle school.

The school has full-time teachers in visual art, exploring music, band, choir, physical education and creative experiences. Each grade level also has a full-time counselor who stays with the grade level for two continuous years. There are full-time teachers and instructional assistants for students with special needs.
