The gym, similarly, is also on target for completion by mid-July. >>read more

Uptown School is an authorized International Baccalureate (IB) Primary Years School and PYP IB World School. Uptown School is a candidate school* for the IB Middle Years Programme and is pursuing authorization as an MYP IB World School.

IB World Schools are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education—that Uptown School believes is important for our students.

*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its three academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), or the Diploma Programme (and in addition the IB Career-related Certificate).  For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit http://www.ibo.org
