Linguistic Academy is now an International Baccalaureate (IB) candidate school

We are excited to share that Linguistic Academy is now an International Baccalaureate (IB) candidate school! This is a big step for our campus and a reflection of our commitment to helping students grow as curious, confident, multilingual learners.

As we begin this journey, our teachers will participate in IB training and our classrooms will include more opportunities for students to explore questions, make connections, and learn about the world around them. IB candidacy means we are actively engaged in the authorization process and steadily moving toward meeting the high standards of the IB program.

We can’t wait to share this journey with our families. Thank you for supporting our students as they become caring, thoughtful, globally minded learners.
Nos complace anunciar que Linguistic Academy es ahora una escuela candidata al Bachillerato Internacional (IB). Este es un gran paso para nuestra institución y un reflejo de nuestro compromiso de ayudar a los estudiantes a desarrollarse como aprendices curiosos, seguros de sí mismos y multilingües.

Al comenzar este camino, nuestros profesores participarán en la formación del Bachillerato Internacional (IB) y nuestras aulas ofrecerán más oportunidades para que los estudiantes exploren preguntas, establezcan conexiones y aprendan sobre el mundo que les rodea. La candidatura al programa IB significa que estamos participando activamente en el proceso de autorización y avanzando firmemente hacia el cumplimiento de los altos estándares del programa IB.

Estamos deseando compartir este proceso con nuestras familias. Gracias por apoyar a nuestros estudiantes en su camino para convertirse en aprendices solidarios, reflexivos y con una mentalidad global.

The Linguistic Academy of El Paso is a Candidate School* for the Primary 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 Linguistic Academy of El Paso 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
