IHS Mission Statement
The mission of Irmo High School, where excellence is never compromised, is to develop an educational community of lifelong learners who meet the global demands of the 21st century through a challenging educational program that embraces diversity and unity, instills integrity and character, and provides opportunities for leadership and teamwork.
IB Mission statement
The International Baccalaureate® (IB) aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end, the organization works with schools, governments, and international organizations to develop challenging programs of international education and rigorous assessment. These programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
Equity and inclusive education in the IB
The IB believes in an inclusive approach to education designed to remove or reduce barriers so that every student can fully participate in IB programmes.
Inclusive education is facilitated in a culture of collaboration, mutual respect, support, and problem-solving involving the whole school community.
Across the world, inclusive education has grown from a movement that was about the inclusion of students with disabilities to a holistic approach that is about all learners and values the diversity of the student population.
