Did you know that just four schools in Texas offer an International Baccalaureate continuum program? The only one in the Houston area, The Woodlands Prep International School, is located in a beautifully forested area of Creekside Park in The Woodlands. If you're interested to learn more about an IB education at Woodlands Prep, they are hosting an Open House this April 18, 19 and 20.
At the center of international education in the IB program are students aged 3 to 19 with their own learning styles, strengths, and challenges. Students of all ages come to school with combinations of unique and shared patterns of values, knowledge and experience of the world and their place in it.
Promoting open communication based on understanding and respect, the IB encourages students to become active, compassionate, lifelong learners. An IB education is holistic in nature- - it is concerned with the whole person. Along with cognitive development, IB programs address students' social, emotional and physical well-being. They value and offer opportunities for students to become active and caring members of local, national and global communities; they focus attention on the values and outcomes of internationally minded learning described in the IB learner profile.
IB learners strive to become inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced and reflective. These attributes represent a broad range of human capacities and responsibilities that go beyond intellectual development and academic success.
IB programs aim to increase access to the curriculum and engagement in learning for all students. Teaching communities become more inclusive as they identify and remove barriers to learning and participation.
