At Highland Park Elementary we encourage international-mindedness by empowering students to take action and to become lifelong learners through collaboration, inquiry and critical thinking.

IBO Mission Statement:

• The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
• To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
• These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
