Morganton Day School celebrated its authorization as an International Baccalaureate Organization, Primary Years Programme school. The celebration of this significant milestone in the school’s journey toward academic excellence was Wednesday, September 26, in Bennett Hall.
The program included a presentation of an IB Banner and certificate of authorization for the school as well as information about the IB Program. Guests had an opportunity to tour classrooms and hear students and teachers talk about their program of study. A reception and a KidZone area for the children concluded the celebration.
Morganton Day School received authorization by the International Baccalaureate Organization to offer the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for grades K-5 in July, making it one of only 11 PYP schools in North Carolina and one of 117 in the United States. Authorization to become an IB World School is an intensive process that typically takes two or more years and includes site visits by an IB authorization team. |
