We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with our phone lines, possibly due to the windstorm of this past weekend. We have been in contact with our phone service provider, and the issue is being addressed. In the meantime, if you are trying to contact a staff member at the school, please use email as that has remained unaffected by the problem we are experiencing.

The International Baccalaureate Program is best suited to students who are seeking to challenge themselves academically. The IB Learner Profile identifies students who are naturally inquisitive, motivated, self-directed, and open-minded risk-takers.
