ISY’s World Class IB Diploma Program

In January 2024, two representatives of  the International Baccalaureate (IB) virtually visited with faculty, parents, students, and members of the Board of Trustees as a part of the reauthorization of our IB Diploma Program. 

This visit covered all aspects of our IB Diploma Program, with meetings focusing on the following categories: Purpose, Environment, Culture, and Learning. The purpose of the meetings was to confirm and expand upon an extensive self-study that we conducted on our IB Diploma Program.

We are very proud of our IB Diploma Program and we were very pleased to have it recognized as a ‘world-class’ program by the report that followed the visit and confirmed our IB status for another five years.

Here is how our program was described by the IB in the report:

“strong commitment to the IB philosophy, culture of learning and holistic development of students.”

“dedicated teaching staff committed to supporting students in all aspects of their wellbeing.”

“students are actively involved in the learning process.”

“safe, nurturing and respectful learning environment.” 

“active, supportive classroom environments.” 

“students experience a caring, inclusive environment.”

“individualized support for students.”

“world-class education that supports and addresses the diverse needs and interests of students.”
