International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme
St. Mary’s choice of the International Baccalaureate curriculum is indicative of the high value we place on academic excellence. St. Mary’s is proud to be affiliated with the International Baccalaureate Organization whose principles are seamlessly woven into our curriculum. The Primary Years Programme (for students three years of age through grade five) and Middle Years Program (for our students in grades six through eight, with coordinating programs available in high school) both emphasize the dynamic combination of knowledge, skills, independent critical thought, and the appreciation for the richness of life through international awareness.
