School Notes

School Motto: Hearts & Minds to Better the World
School Mascot: Eagles

St. Edward is one of the nation's most successful International Baccalaureate World Schools. IB develops students who are curious, engaged, and globally aware. While the IB Diploma Program begins in eleventh grade, expert faculty masterfully weave the IB instructional philosophy throughout every subject and grade level.
Lessons are built on relevant, well-researched material and delivered through proven teaching methods. IB World Schools are re-accredited every five years to ensure instruction reflects the latest and best practices.A hallmark of IB learning is the concept that knowledge can transfer across fields-a critical advantage in today's deeply interconnected world.
For freshmen and sophomores, this concept emerges through collaborative, interdisciplinary projects. Entrepreneurship and English classes mightcome together to develop marketing strategies for a real-life business, while film and Spanish students may unite to create short films scripted in their secondary language. The possibilities are endless!
As Edsmen progress to their junior year, more than 20 distinct IB Diploma courses are offered-each taught and learned through real-world experiences that challenge students to drive their own learning, become more culturally aware, solve complex problems, and better understand the impact of their actions both locally and globally.
