December 8: Final Sunday Open House...
Dear Andrew,
It is a tradition that we take a few risks in our final Sunday Open House.
Expect some interesting academic and musical surprises. We will be
showcasing the IB Diploma Experience almost entirely with student voice
this time. We will also feature our STEM and advanced math offerings.
Join us at 10h30 am this Sunday December 8. Come and see for
yourself what sets us apart from other schools.

The International Baccalaureate Diploma is the
gold-standard for college preparation
IB Diploma students enter colleges already prepared for the upper level
thinking, sophisticated writing, global mindedness and independent
research skills that lie ahead. During his keynote speech at the recent IB
Higher Education Symposium at Stanford, our 2013 Valedictorian, Andrew
Beckman declared:
Much of what I learned as an IB student has carried over to my
studies at Stanford and has given me an advantage...the kind of
critical thinking the IB instills and the skills it helps develop (e.g.
the skill of writing) are very much in line with--perhaps even
above--what is expected of me so far in college.
The power of the Extended Essay experience
A memorable rite of passage for IB Diploma Diploma students is writing
an independent research paper conforming to international academic
conventions. Students are free to choose their own research question and
mentor teacher. There is a tremendous sense of pride upon completion of
the Extended Essay. When the first college mid-term paper comes along
IB Diploma students feel confident and prepared when many of their peers
are feeling overwhelmed by the task.
Referring to finishing his own Extended Essay, Andrew Beckman stated:
I'm so glad I did! Although I'm only in my third week here at
Stanford, I can already tell that I have a much easier time writing
papers when compared to a lot of my classmates. The skills
required to master the Extended Essay are very much in line with
what is expected of me here at Stanford.

Unrivaled Performing Arts
Cabaret just closed to rave reviews! Here are two of them:
Bravo! The performance was unbelievable. Phenomenal talent,
loved every minute of it. I did not want it to end. What an
evening!
The lights, the color, the music and singing, the energy and story
are all spectacular. Only at the final bow--when the actors jump
out of character--will you realize that this was a show put on by
students.
