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.
