• Alverta B. Gray Schultz (ABGS) IB World School Academic Policies 

    As an IB World School offering the MYP, ABGS is now a part of a global community of schools committed to developing knowledgeable, caring, young people who will be ready to negotiate their futures successfully and make contributions resulting in a more harmonious and peaceful world.”  Our school's educators, administrators, students and families played an integral role in choosing to offer the MYP.  The positive results of this choice will become more evident in our community as classes of MYP students graduate and undertake activities that enhance social, cultural, and economic environments locally, nationally, and perhaps internationally.

     ABGS adopted its policies to the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program philosophy and principles. Our policies are statements of intent, actions, and practices constructed around educational and pedagogical values. Constructing and implementing policy helps schools engage meaningfully with IB expectations to develop the context of each school’s unique circumstances.

    *Only schools authorized by the International Baccalaureate can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme or the IB Career-related Certificate (IBCC). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org

    Mission Statement from the 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 programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.**
