Our primary centers Aquila and Peter Hobart as well as our intermediate centers Cedar Manor and Susan Lindgren are candidate schools* for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme. These schools are pursuing authorization as an IB World School. IB schools share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that the St. Louis Park elementary schools believe is important for our students.

*Only schools authorized by the International Baccalaureate (IB) as IB World Schools can offer any of its three academic programmes: the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), or the IB Diploma Programme. Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit http://www.ibo.org.
