Why International Baccalaureate at The Westwood School?

International Baccalaureate (IB) is a world class educational system because of its rigor, 它强调批判性思维, and its graduates being well-rounded students with the ability to appreciate the interconnectivity between subjects. So why choose Westwood for this most demanding curriculum?

The average public school in Texas has over 200 students per grade. 在皇冠足球投注网址 there is an average of 15 students per grade.

Typical class sizes in Texas are 30 or more students. 在皇冠足球投注网址, class sizes range from 8 to 15 students, allowing for personal attention that students need to fulfill their academic potential.

Upon entering their junior year, all Westwood students enter into IB’s Diploma Programme (DP). Unlike schools that require students to test into a demanding curriculum, Westwood does not create an “academic elite” by only allowing the most gifted students to participate in this learning experience. Westwood believes that every student will benefit from a rigorous educational experience.

Diploma Programme students share some core classes that help create a strong academic community where they consider great works of literature and lasting philosophical questions about what it is to be human. DP students also have subject choices from which to design an educational experience that best fits their individual interests.

All of our teachers are trained and experienced in the IB Programme, giving our students expert guidance through all aspects of the Diploma Programme.
