IB Middle Years Program (MYP): Grades 9 & 10
Our IB Middle Years Program provides a framework of academic challenge. The program encourages our freshman and sophomore students to understand and embrace the connections between traditional academic subjects and the real world, and inspires them to become critical and reflective thinkers. The program consists of eight subject groups. These subjects are integrated through six global contexts that provide lenses for learning within and across the subjects. We place emphasis on the fluidity of the curricular framework and the interrelatedness of the subjects. Aspects of the areas of interaction are addressed naturally through the distinct disciplines. The overall philosophy of the program is expressed through three fundamental concepts that support and strengthen all areas of the curriculum. These concepts are intercultural awareness, holistic learning, and communication.

IB Diploma Program (DP): Grades 11 & 12
The IB Diploma Program is a comprehensive and rigorous two-year curriculum leading to IB examinations for juniors and seniors. Based on the pattern of no single country, it incorporates the best elements of many countries' educational curricula. More specifically, it is a deliberate compromise between the specialization required in some national systems and the breadth preferred in others. The general objectives of the IB program are: to provide students with a balanced education; to facilitate geographic and cultural mobility; and to promote international understanding through a shared academic experience.
