At Willows Prep, we embrace the International Baccalaureate’s commitment to fostering confident, critical thinkers.
As an IB World School, we provide all students in grades 6-10 with the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), and all students in grades 11 and 12 with the prestigious IB Diploma Programme (DP). This well-rounded, in-depth curriculum extends beyond academic excellence, guiding students in their exploration of local and global contexts, as well as fostering multilingual abilities.
