As expected, however, there is included a bit of anxiety about the unknown. Please feel welcome to tour our school and to meet our coordinator and other staff members who will be able to answer any questions you may have. The philosophy of the International Baccalaureate Organisation is a very close fit with the philosophy historically espoused and expressed in action by the Lanier faculty and staff. International Baccalaureate Orgnaisation aims to assist schools in their endeavors to develop the individual talents of young people and teach them to relate the experience of the classroom to the realities of the world outside. Lanier Middle School has registered with IBO and is in the process of training our teachers and seeking authorization as an International Baccalaureate Middle Years school.
