SECONDARY

Secondary (Ages 11–16)

The secondary curriculum designed at Bogaerts International School North Campus builds from the learning targets in our primary years curriculum and increments in rigor and sophistication in every year to build up preparation for the IB Diploma. The BIS North Campus secondary curriculum is intentionally interdisciplinary, and all secondary students experience interdisciplinary learning in each year of instruction.

Bogaerts International School — North Campus is a Candidate School* for the IBDP. 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 BIS North Campus 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
