Mission
The IB Diploma Programme is a challenging curriculum for juniors and seniors that fosters critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and respect for global diversity. Students study rigorous, advanced coursework in the core subjects, follow a college-level philosophy course entitled theory of knowledge, complete detailed research on a subject of interest, and participate in extra-curricular projects that combine creativity, action, and service. Students may apply to the IB Programme at the end of their sophomore year. The Middle Years Programme introduces freshmen and sophomores to academic rigor and emphasizes research skills, the scientific method, and math skills for advanced learning. Sophomore students demonstrate skill development by presenting a researched, personal project to their peers, parents, and community. The Middle Years Programme offers opportunities to enter the IB Diploma Programme; successful MYP students will advance to the IB Diploma Programme. Students may apply to the MYP Programme during eighth grade.
