What is an IB education?
The International Baccalaureate program offers a rigorous, comprehensive approach to learning in junior and senior year. It is a holistic approach which not only addresses intellectual development but also social, emotional and physical well-being. Its requirements foster the habits of mind necessary for students to be prepared to meet the demands of college and university work. The IB curriculum emphasizes and promotes the following:
- intellectual curiosity in a broad range of subject areas

- academic research skills
- engagement with and respect for diverse perspectives
- active involvement as a citizen of the local community and the global world
