INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE PROGRAMME  

International Baccalaureate (IB) is an optional two-year program of rigorous learning during a student's junior and senior years.  Students study in six academic areas: Language; Second Language; Mathematics; Science; Individuals and Society; and the Arts.  Students take examinations at the end of their senior year.  Based on their scores, students may receive an IB diploma.  The IB Diploma is internationally recognized by prestigious universities for excellence in college preparation.  IB diploma graduates often begin their college careers as second year students.  
 
IB Mission Statement  


The International Baccalaureate Organization 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 IBO works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programs of international education and rigorous assessment. These programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
