PRINTS Acquires IB Accreditation February 5, 2009 - Pacific Rim International School (PRINTS) has received the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) Accreditation. Last November, after much hard work and planning, particularly by Dr Finnegan and Ms Roether, a team of faculty, staff, administrators, and parents met with IB Evaluators, who toured our school and reviewed our Erdkinder/High School Program. After careful consideration and a rigorous application process, the IB Organization has deemed PRINTS worthy of IB Accreditation. "This is such an incredible opportunity to connect with educators worldwide who share our commitment to an international curriculum of rigorous academics, multilingualism, and creative arts," remarked Ms. Christinia Cheung, School Director. The IB Diploma, highly valued by colleges and universities worldwide, places PRINTS within an esteemed community of international schools. Furthermore, the IB Accreditation will draw students who come from an international perspective, enriching our program with their global worldviews.
