Andrew P. Hill High School

 

Andrew Hill High School is currently in the candidacy phase* to offer the IB Middle Years Program (MYP) to 9th & 10th grade students. The MYP framework challenges students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world. The program’s goal is to develop active learners and internationally minded young people who can empathize with others and pursue lives of purpose and meaning. The program empowers students to inquire into a wide range of issues and ideas of significance locally, nationally and globally. The result is young people who are creative, critical and reflective thinkers. The MYP is inclusive by design; students of all interests and academic abilities can benefit from their participation.

Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programs. Candidacy status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
