Strood Academy is proud to be an IB World School offering the Middle Years Programme programme for Years 7-9 and the IB Careers Programme programme for Years 12 & 13. The MYP is studied by all students in Years 7-9, providing them access to a broad curriculum within 8 different subject groups.
The IB vision states that “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.
The core skills and attributes run through every aspect of all IB programmes and students will consider the learner profile attributes daily in every lesson as well as through their pastoral, social times, enrichment and extracurricular activities to support their holistic learning and development – physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically.
