Currently, teachers are immersed in infusing the IB Diploma Program in grades 11 and 12 and planning for the formal introduction of the IB Middle Program in grades 6-10. Teachers also assume significant leadership roles in school decision making. Students are assigned to advisory groups that meet regularly with teacher leaders.
