PYP I B World School
International Baccalaureate
Dear Panther Family,
There has never been a more exciting time to be a member of our Panther Family. As of June 2021, we are now a globally recognized campus offering the International Baccalaureate (IB) philosophy. We are very proud of this achievement being that there are only about 1,934 schools in the United States that are International Baccalaureate World Schools.
An IB Primary Years Programme World School sets the foundation of global learning from Pre-K 3 to 5th Grade. The IB philosophy encourages our students to develop a set of learner profile attributes that are known to develop and model a global mindset. While emphasizing critical and creative thinking skills, we hope to create learning experiences that support your children’s awareness of local and global issues and engage them in making an impact in our world.
We appreciate your support in our quest of becoming an International Baccularaute Primary Years Programme World School and send special thank you to our Panther Scholars!
Congratulations to our Panther Family!
What is IB?
The International Baccalaureate® (IB) offers significant benefits to schools.
If you choose to become an IB World School, you will gain access to:
- high quality programmes of education, which support development of knowledgeable and inquiring students
- professional development that supports effective educators and collaborative professional learning communities
- a worldwide network of highly respected IB World Schools, working together to share best practice.
To offer one or more IB programmes and to take advantage of many of the IB’s professional development opportunities, your school will need to become authorized as an IB World School.
High-performing students
Research shows that students in the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) performed better than non-IB students in a global International Schools’ Assessment study that ran from 2009-2011.
Further research indicates that Diploma Programme (DP) graduates complete college faster than their peers, feel more prepared for college-level coursework involving research, and are better able to cope with demanding workloads and time-management challenges.
