The mission of Laurel High School is to foster life-long learning and to provide all its students with the skills needed to achieve at their highest level of academic success in accordance with local, state, and national standards of educational excellence. This goal is met, in partnership with family and community, through establishment of educational objectives; assurance of a safe, supportive learning environment, recognition of both our cutural diversiy and the surrounding global society; and attention to each student's future success in the workplace and in the world.

The International Baccalaureate Organization aims to develop inquiring, knowledgable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

 

To this end the IBO works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.

 

These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
