What is 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 programs of international
education and rigorous assessment.
These programs encourage students across the world to
become active, compassionate and lifelong learners
Bexley City Schools & Bexley Middle School
A community of lifelong learners becoming
productive global citizens and leaders.
Dedicated to educating the middle level child for
academic excellence, developing informed,
responsible, respectful, and productive citizens.
What is IB at Bexley Middle School?
We offer a whole-school model.
IB offers a framework from which to work
and not a prescribed curriculum.
The IB Middle Years Program (MYP) is
offered over two years*at our school.
1). Emphasis on real-world
connections and positive action
2). Thinking skills framework
through the Approaches to
Learning
3). Increased emphasis on
student-reflection
