What is an International Baccalaureate Candidate School?

Purcell Marian High School is a Candidate School for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, and is pursuing authorization as an IB World School.*  IB World Schools share a common philosophy and commitment to provide a high-quality, challenging and truly international education that we believe 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 (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP).  Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
