International Baccalaureate
International Baccalaureate, internationally recognized educational program with a rigorous curriculum, features a global focus and emphasizes creative problem-solving, hands-on projects, inquiry-based learning, and community service.
As IB learners, our students continue to study traditional subjects, meeting all state academic content standards. They are also encouraged to develop the ten attributes of an International Baccalaureate Learner: Inquirer, Knowledgeable, Thinker, Communicator, Principled, Open-minded, Caring, Risk-taker, Balanced and Reflective.
Primary Years Programme
All students in Preschool through Grade 5 are a part of the Primary Years Programme (PYP). The PYP strives to develop internationally-minded students who demonstrate the attributes of the IB Learner Profile by ensuring that learning is engaging, relevant, challenging and significant.
Middle Years Programme
All students in Grades 6-10 participate in the Middle Years Programme (MYP), which buildings upon the knowledge, skills and attitudes developed in the PYP. The MYP integrates state and national content standards in a way that is authentic and relevant, engaging students through inquiry.
