The American International School of Monrovia is a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and is pursuing authorisation as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy, a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering challenging, high quality programmes of international education that share a powerful vision. Only schools authorised by the International Baccalaureate can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme or the IB Career-related Certificate (IBCC) Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorisation will be granted.
