International Baccalaureate (IB)
The International School is in the process of adopting the IB Primary Years Programme to bring our curriculum to the next level of excellence. The IB program is used in over 1500 schools in 128 countries - we will become one of the first IB elementary schools on the west coast of the United States. We have been accepted for IB candidate status - the process to become an authorized IB School will take up to three years.
