The International Baccalaureate for all
Every student at Atlanta International School studies the International Baccalaureate (IB) World School curriculum from 3K - Grade 12.
The IB is renowned for its academic rigor and emphasis on a student's intellectual, personal, emotional and social development.
This highly sought after curriculum develops students who are prepared for the challenges of our interconnected world.
Our Primary School students, 3K - Grade 5, follow the IB Primary Years Program (PYP).
Structured around transdisciplinary themes, PYP is a concept-driven program that fosters the development of the whole child, encompassing academic, social, emotional and physical well-being. The curriculum is engaging, relevant, challenging and rigorous - focusing on issues that cross subject areas.
Students in Grades 6 - 10 follow the IB Middle Years Program (MYP) curriculum.
The MYP aims to foster creative, critical and reflective thinkers. The curriculum is based on three core principles: communication, holistic learning and intercultural awareness. Unique aspects of the MYP include the Grade 10 Personal Project and giving back to the community through our Service as Action programs.
Students in Grades 11 and 12 follow the IB Diploma Program (DP) curriculum, graduating with the prestigious IB Diploma.
DP students take 6 courses from the choice of over 50 that we offer, many of which are college-level. Uniquely, the IBDP requires students to complete CAS (Creativity, Action, Service) hours, write an Extended Essay and study the Theory of Knowledge.
Atlanta International School students attend universities and colleges all over the world, across the United States and here in Georgia.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma that AIS students attain is internationally recognized, as a rigorous indicator of academic ability and critical thinking. Our ever-growing global network of alumni is connected through a strong community and represented by our Alumni Board.
