Candidate School Erie Day School`s Preschool, PreK, Kindergarten
and Lower School (Grades 1 through 4) are International
Baccalaureate (IB) candidates. Students participating in the
Primary Years Program will develop the intellectual, personal,
emotional and social skills to live, learn and work in a rapidly
globalizing world. The curriculum represents the best from many
different countries rather than the exported national system of any
one. The IB curriculum will be maintained with our high standards
by on-going training for our educators. We believe that students
must first develop an understanding of their own cultural and
national identity. All IB students are exposed to a second language
and the skills to live and work with others internationally which
is essential for life in the 21st century. We encourage a positive
attitude learning by encouraging students to ask challenging
questions, reflect critically, develop research skills, and learn
how to learn. We encourage community service because there is more
to learning than academic studies alone. IB World Schools cooperate
in curriculum development, student assessment, and the governance
of the IB, making this a unique international collaboration.
