What do current students say?

SLIDESMANIA.COM

“The reasons to do full IB were to challenge myself and to look at things from a different perspective.”

SLIDESMANIA.COM

“The benefits of IB are exponential. . . Being an IB student has taught me a lot about myself. It has given me a love of learning. I love exceeding all [of] the boundaries I’ve set for myself academically.”

SLIDESMANIA.COM

“It pushes you academically, so you learn more and to learn how to learn more. And that will be very helpful to you in college.”

SLIDESMANIA.COM

“There are three main benefits to taking IB classes: writing, time management, and analytical thinking, improved analytical thinking . . . In this program, the aim is for you to develop your learning and to develop yourself to become a smarter and better human being. You’re not treated as another piece in the assembly line. So, I feel that teachers here really do appreciate you . . . ”
