IB+Library+Programs

The **International Baccalaureate (IB)** offers high quality programmes of international education to a community of elementary and high schools within Chicago Public Schools. IB is a non-profit, mission-driven foundation that offers challenging programmes for students aged 3 to 19. The programmes help develop the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world. Currently, there are three programmes of international education for students:

The **Primary Years Programme (PYP)** for pupils aged 3 to 12 focuses on the development of the whole child in the classroom and in the world outside.

The **Middle Years Programme (MYP)** for students aged 11 to 16 provides a framework of academic challenge and life skills through embracing and transcending traditional school subjects. [|MYP Homepage]

The **Diploma Programme** for students aged 16 to 19 is a demanding two-year curriculum that meets the needs of highly motivated students, and leads to a qualification that is recognized by leading universities around the world. page here.
