IB School

We are an authorized Primary Years Programme (PYP) International Baccalaureate (IB) World School.

The International Baccalaureate Organization is a nonprofit, Swiss educational foundation dedicated to a curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking and exposure to a variety of points of view to encourage intercultural understanding and acceptance of others by young people. The IB curriculum can be administered in any country and is recognized by schools and universities worldwide.

IBO includes three age-level curricula:

  • The Primary Years Programme (K-Grade 5)
  • The Middle Years Programme (Grades 6-10)
  • The Diploma Programme (Grades 11-12)

The programs help students grow intellectually, socially, aesthetically, and culturally. They teach students to think critically and encourage them to draw connections between areas of knowledge and to use problem-solving techniques and concepts from many disciplines. They give students an awareness and understanding of their own culture and of other cultures, values, and ways of life. IB students are highly recruited by colleges and universities around the world.
