What is IB?
The International Baccalaureate® (IB) offers a continuum of international education through four challenging, high quality educational programmes to students aged 3 to 19. The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP) is an educational opportunity for 16-19 year olds, and it is the program currently offered to students at Harbor High in the 11th and 12th grades.
IB’s learner profile and approaches to teaching and learning support teachers and students at Harbor High to work across disciplines, developing intercultural and conceptual understandings in order to navigate our complex world.
The aim of all IB programs is to develop international-minded people, who recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet help to create a better and more peaceful world.
