Research by the Centre on the Developing Child, Harvard University, also underlines the importance of preschool. It indicates that children can reach their full potential, if they are provided with stimulating and appropriate experiences in the earliest years when their brain is optimally programmed to benefit from these experiences.
The Democratic School is a Candidate School for the Middle Years Programme. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that The Democratic School believes is important for our students.
Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org
