IAS is an authorized IB World School for the Primary and Middle Year Programs.  The International Baccalaureate Organization offers a continuum of education, consisting of three programs for students aged 3 to 19. The Primary Years Program (PYP) for students aged 3-12 started in 1997 and is now offered by 260 IB World Schools. The Middle Years Program (MYP) for students aged 11-16 started in 1994 and is now offered by 493 IB World Schools. These programs lead to the Diploma Program for students aged 16 to 19, which started in 1968 and are now offered by 1,384 IB World Schools. Campbell High School is one of these schools. Therefore, IAS intends to grow children in the IB programs in order to lead them to the Diploma Program already offered to them in high school.
