Academic Programs


As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School offering the Diploma Program (DP) and a Middle School Curricular based on the IB Middle Years Program (MYP) framework. We offer a continuum of high-quality, international education across grades 6 to 12.

The International Baccalaureate is the most respected and widely followed academic program among international schools and becoming increasingly more popular in many national education systems, with more than 4,000 schools worldwide offering IB programs. As such, it is well suited to meet the needs of our internationally and globally minded community.

​The International Baccalaureate is different from other curricula because it:
  • Encourages students to think critically and ask questions. 
  • Independent of governments and national systems, and therefore able to incorporate best practices from a range of international frameworks and curricula.
  • Encourages students to consider local, national, and global perspectives.

Research has shown that International Baccalaureate students perform well on international academic assessments and are often better than students in other programs. Additionally, IB Diploma Program graduates feel more prepared for college-level coursework involving research and better able to cope with demanding workloads and time-management challenges than students from non-IB schools.
