“It is undoubtedly hard work, but it will pay off. The work ethic that I learned from IB is something that I still carry with me even during medical school.”
“IB prepared me for the college course load, how to better manage my time, & to better understand how to work with others.”
“Adjusting to the pace of college was much easier since IB was in my background. I also found that the research skills I learned in IB were applicable to the work I was doing outside of school.”
“If you are interested in the aspects of moving around, traveling, exploring, & finding out what you can do, I truly believe that IB can help set you up on that path.”

The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) is an assessed programme for students aged 16 to 19. International Baccalaureate schools offer an integrated approach to college preparation that includes not only challenging coursework, but also develops a global perspective and awareness that will be critical to the success of students as they prepare for the changing and emerging careers of this century.
The program is a rigorous course of studies, leading to examinations in six academic areas, which meet the needs of highly motivated secondary school students. These programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners. Designed as a comprehensive curriculum that allows its graduates to fulfill requirements of various national education systems.
Families of incoming or current students are encouraged to contact us to explore the diploma program.
