Curriculum
Académie Lafayette began its International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IB MYP) for middle school students in fall 2013. Our inaugural class (2020–21) will continue with IB MYP, as the programme extends to the first two years of high school.
Académie Lafayette is a candidate school * for the Diploma Programme (DP). Read more under International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.
The culmination of the IB curriculum is the exams taken at the conclusion of each IB class, typically at the end of a student’s senior year. Many colleges recognize certain score thresholds as college credit or course equivalency.
* Only schools authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) can offer any of its academic programmes. Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
