• IB Mission Statement  

    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.

     

    The School at St. George Place is an IB World School for the Primary Years Programme (PYP).  The school received its authorization from the International Baccalaureate Organization in May 2014. The School at St. George Place embraced the IB curriculum framework for young learners aged 3–12 designed by the International Baccalaureate (IB).  Founded on a philosophy that recognizes a child’s natural curiosity, creativity and ability to reflect, the PYP generates a stimulating, challenging learning environment to nurture those assets and foster a lifelong love of learning in every child.  The PYP, like all IB programmes, is transdisciplinary, meaning students learn across subject areas while investigating big ideas.
