An IB education seeks to achieve more than getting students to learn “facts”. An IB education is about education the whole child and embodies academic competence, approaches to learning, and international mindedness. Standards-based grading puts student learning and growth at the center of our practice. Subsequently, Achievement is more than just grades.
