ACADEMICS
Our rigorous curriculum is centered around the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) framework, preparing all students in grades 5-8 for success in high school, post-secondary education, work force, and beyond. Through the IB framework, we focus on holistic development, community service, intercultural understanding and real-world connections through an interdisciplinary approach.
