We are proud to announce that SIS achieved authorization to offer the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme to grades 6-10 in 2020!  As the only 5-year MYP on a single campus in Houston ISD, we are excited to also announce our 2021 authorization to offer the IB Diploma Programme for grades 11-12.

 

IB World Schools share a common philosophy—a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering challenging, high quality programmes of international education that share a powerful vision*.

 

*Mission Statement from the IB:

 

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. To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
