The Student Life staff at IMSA believes that it is students’ responsibility, during their three years at the Academy, to work towards reaching their potential in all areas of development with special emphasis on leadership. To that end the staff provides appropriate interventions, support mechanisms, services and learning opportunities. Furthermore, Student Life programs encourage students to be healthy, ethical, productive members of the local and global communities. It is the staff's responsibility to facilitate the development, implementation, and assessment of the department’s programs and to serve as student and parent advocate within the Academy.
