*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programmed (PYP), the Middle YearsProgramme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.

responsible citizens of a global society. We inquire into the world around us through rigorous academic programs that aim toprepare students for life’s opportunities.
