What is an IB education?
What is an IB education?
IB learners strive to become inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced and reflective. These attributes represent a broad range of human capacities and responsibilities that go beyond intellectual development and academic success. This is the IB’s educational philosophy.

Assessment and results
Assessment and results
In the Diploma Programme (DP) the International Baccalaureate conducts two examination sessions each year. We work to the core principles that all students receive a result that is fair, reliable and recognized. Our assessments give students the opportunity to demonstrate not just what they have learnt, but how they can apply this learning. Hansberry College Prep students take exams in May 2021.
IB graduates are academically prepared for university coursework, and research shows that they perform exceptionally well when compared to their non-IB peers. Many universities publish their own policies explaining exactly how an IB student can apply.

Diploma Program
Diploma Program
The IB Diploma Programme (DP) is a two-year international education programme that prepares students age 16–19 years for success going into, and throughout, university. The DP offers a holistic approach to teaching and learning with a keen focus on developing intercultural awareness. Students learn to explore and understand the world around them through inquiry, critical thinking and open-mindedness.
Why the DP?
Why the DP?
Parents who want the best possible education for their children choose the DP because it offers:
a challenging academic curriculum that serves as outstanding preparation for university and higher education
a student-centred approach to teaching, focused on developing students intellectually, emotionally, physically and socially, as opposed to preparation for test-taking only
a focus on international-mindedness, compassion, and understanding intercultural differences
respected, reliable and world-renowned academic preparation
Universities regularly cite DP students as the best prepared for higher education.
DP graduates excel at university and often begin their studies with advanced standing
What's unique about the DP curriculum?
What's unique about the DP curriculum?
DP students complete courses from six subject groups, ensuring a depth and breadth of knowledge and understanding. By engaging with a range of subjects, they experience a comprehensive education that encourages them to link their learning to form a more useful way to apply what they've learned. The study of an additional language is also required, as well as the completion of a compulsory programme core consisting of three components:
Theory of knowledge (TOK) challenges students to reflect on the nature of knowledge and how we know what we claim to know.
The Extended essay introduces students to the demands and rewards of independent work prior to entering university, requiring them to produce a self-directed piece of research in an area of personal interest
Creativity, activity and service (CAS) is an experiential learning component where students engage with a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including community service and athletic options.
Assessment and examination at the end of DP courses are a recognized worldwide standard, measuring student understanding and providing a passport to university.
