Our Work in Practice

The 7 Mile Scope Literacy Framework is activated through a set of aligned initiatives and learning environments. Each arm reflects a distinct expression of the framework, designed to meet community needs while maintaining shared standards, instructional coherence, and system-wide alignment.

International Language Academy (ILA)
International Language Academy (ILA) is a literacy-centered infant and toddler program serving children from 6 weeks to 2 years old. ILA emphasizes early communication and language development through intentional routines, sign language, sensory-rich environments, and foundational exposure to letters, numbers, colors, and concepts. Programming is designed to support early brain development while establishing literacy as a natural part of daily interaction from birth.

International Child Care Center (ICCC)

International Child Care Center (ICCC) provides literacy-centered early learning for preschool-aged children, preparing them for kindergarten readiness and long-term academic success. Instruction is aligned to the 7 Mile Scope framework and emphasizes structured literacy, language development, and early numeracy. ICCC serves as a direct delivery site where ILS systems, curriculum, and instructional practices are implemented with fidelity.
