The James H. Boyd Intermediate School provides students with a strong academic and social and emotional program that builds upon their foundational skills, while promoting critical thinking and problem solving.  James Boyd is a warm, nurturing environment that works to foster a love for learning.

Our academic program is aligned with the Next Generation Learning Standards. Our students have ELA/ Math instruction daily, as well as Science and Social Studies throughout the week. Our classes are active in student to student learning opportunities to enhance and deepen student understanding.

Social and Emotional Learning takes place throughout the day through discussions on literature, character education lessons and school wide initiatives. James H. Boyd works closely with Harley Avenue Primary School and Elwood Middle School to ensure that the curriculums are aligned and provide students with the learning progressions they need to grow and succeed.

Students also attend classes taught by specialists in Art, Music, Physical Education and Library. We are fortunate to have a science lab for students to attend and participate in labs 1-2 times a week. Students also attend a Makerspace one time a week where they participate in coding, engineering or exploration lessons on a weekly basis.

Fourth and fifth graders are able to participate in before-and after-school musical performing groups in band, orchestra and chorus with instrumental music lessons given during the regular school day. Third graders are also able to participate in string lessons before school to build competency and to encourage participation in our 4th-5th grade orchestral program. Many students enjoy our comprehensive after-school clubs and activities program. In the spring, we also have rehearsals leading to a musical production. 

James H. Boyd is a supportive, student-centered learning environment that challenges students to reach their fullest potential.  James H. Boyd believes that all children can learn and succeed.
