Sophomore Navigation

Navigation Schedule 2023-24Supporting Sophomores during their Transition to IMSA

The purpose of the Navigation Program for incoming sophomores at IMSA is to provide a safe, supportive environment for students to process issues concerning their transition to the Academy and to present them with learning experiences which will help them be successful here. The program, through a common set of experiences, enables students to connect to one another, the academy, IMSA resources, and one or two IMSA adults outside of the classroom and the residence hall. 

Navigation sessions aim at building up identity, community, and leadership and is a graduation requirement that all sophomore students must attend. The class is taught by IMSA staff and is coordinated through IMSA school counselors.

Individual questions can be directed to our school counselors Alex Pratt (apratt@imsa.edu) and Keisha Rheams (trheams@imsa.edu).
