Yorktown Middle School (YMS) has been officially awarded the prestigious title of IB World School by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). Currently in its third year of operating as a Middle Years Programme (MYP), YMS is recognized for its commitment to the IB Mission of developing inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. Over the past two years, the MYP faculty has developed an in-depth course of study that infuses the York County School Division curriculum with interdisciplinary connections and global mindedness. The journey to implement the MYP also featured a two-day evaluation by representatives of IBO. Designation as an IB World School allows Yorktown Middle School to continue to offer a world-class education to the entire Falcon Family. Congratulations to the students, parents, and faculty on this tremendous accomplishment.
