We are beyond thrilled to announce that 100% of the students in our 2021 International Baccalaureate cohort earned

We all know this was a year like no other, and these students persevered with the support of our incredible IB faculty to make this a reality.
Our hearts are full as we send them off with the tools to succeed at the next level.
