… We believe deeply in our core values of rigor, equity, access, and adaptability. We believe too
that the International Baccalaureate program provides multiple entry points for students to
develop their capacities and to be challenged and enriched; we believe as well that the International
Baccalaureate program fosters inclusivity and celebrates and capitalizes upon the diversity that is humankind. We celebrate this in our children
every day and we believe that the implementation of the International Baccalaureate program will
enhance our ability to engage each student in the totality of their development as human beings in
an ever more connected and diverse society.
