The Democratic School (TDS) nurtures global citizens through the IB philosophy, emphasizing inquiry, intercultural understanding, and international-mindedness to build a more compassionate and connected world. These are schools that share a common philosophyโa commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education that The Democratic School believes is important for our students. Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programs: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP).
