International Baccalaureate
The International Baccalaureate Secondary programme has been selected by the school as a follow up to the Montessori Primary section due to its compatibility. This starts with the mission statements and continues with practical implications. The IB focuses on international mindedness and skill-based learning, which are also cornerstones of the Montessori pedagogy.
