IB PYP

Flags:
An International Baccalaureate education for all elementary students

IB is one of the fastest-growing and most prestigious educational methods in the United States and is taught worldwide.

•    An IB education fosters learning on a deeper level. In our classrooms, you will see both teachers and students asking questions and discovering answers together.
•    When students begin learning a new topic, they think about "What we want to find out,” engaging their natural curiosity.
•    IB elementary classes differ from the traditional because the program takes a much broader view of curriculum. For example, subjects as varied as economics and writing can be taught together.
•     Through the IB approach, our students gain the skills, knowledge, concepts and attitudes to become critical and creative thinkers. 
•    Our students learn a second language and gain an understanding of cultures around the world from an early age.

The IB Primary Years Program is organized through six themes:
•    Who we are
•    Where we are in place and time
•    How we express ourselves
•    How the world works
•    How we organize ourselves
•    Sharing the planet

Positive, Long-Term Impact

•    IB helps students pass standardized state exams and has been endorsed by federal officials as a rigorous academic program.
•    A Washington Post review of nearly all authorized IB public elementary schools in the country found that three-fourths made adequate yearly progress under the federal law. More than two-thirds of the IB schools designated for federal Title I anti-poverty funding made adequate yearly progress.
