Build Systems and resources to support IB Implementation
Building systems and resources to support IB implementation is a critical first step as we continue our work towards becoming an Authorized IB PYP World School. Funding this priority in FY18 helps ensure we have structures in place needed to support the academic operational needs of the school that may arise during the authorization process.
