SUMMIT SCHOOL DISTRICT INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE
SSD offers three levels of the IB: PYP, MYP, and DP. All three programs offer international-mindedness, the Learner Profile, action or service, inquiry-based teaching, and a variety of assessments to allow students to show what they know in their best learning style. All three programs also have their unique characteristics.
PYP (Primary Years Program - Pre-K through Grade 5)
Currently, all elementary schools are authorized PYP schools. Teachers collaborate on PYP planners for a guaranteed and viable curriculum. PYP Attitudes guide staff in creating caring learners.
MYP (Middle Years Program--Grades 6 through 10)
Summit Middle and High Schools offer the Middle Year Programme to all of its students. Teachers use the Five Areas of Interaction to focus instruction into deep and applicable to the "real-world" learning. Please contact Nanci Morse with questions regarding the SMS MYP Program and Doug Blake with questions regarding the SHS MYP Program.
Summit High School offers the Diploma Program (DP) to its juniors and seniors for those seeking either the full diploma or for those seeking certificates. Both certificate and diploma holders may earn college credit, depending upon their scores earned through both assignments and international exams in May. Diploma holders with scores no lower than a "4" can start in most Colorado universities as sophomores.
Please contact Nanci Morse with questions regarding the SHS DP Programme.
