Achievement • Inclusivity • Equity 

Our IB diploma program, taught in English, offers more than an academic curriculum. We are committed to contributing to the development of inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who are motivated to reach their goals. IB Diploma Program students are encouraged to develop lifelong learning skills and international mindedness, develop research skills, think critically, act ethically, consider and engage in local and global issues.
