International Baccalaureate
Hardaway High School is a proud IB world school. IB programmes challenge students to excel in their studies, and encourage both personal and academic achievement. We are proud to offer three programmes for our students; Middle Years*, Diploma and Career.
IB from a Student Perspective
All components of the IB Programme ask students to be critical thinkers, put their thinking into action, and reflect on what they learn and do to become lifelong learners who have the ability to adjust and adapt to different situations and contexts for success in life.

The International Baccalaureate Mission Statement
“The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
