I learned from an educational consultant that Verde Valley School (Sedona, AZ) has joined the International Baccalaureate program. Their enrollment brings a strong, internationally recognized course of study to their curriculum.  The IB program works to develop inquisitive, thoughtfully rigorous students with wide ranging experience and world views.  

You can learn more about their IB status and the program on the school’s web site.

This led us to see if there are other American boarding schools offering the program. As far as we can tell there are just two: George School (PA) and St. Timothy’s School (MD).

Anyone know of others? If so please don’t hesitate to drop us a comment or an e-mail. We’re considering adding a list of American boarding schools that offer the IB to our recently enhanced boarding school directory.
