PYP Overview:

Hartsfield Magnet School for International Studies is a candidate school for the IB Primary Years Programme with an anticipated authorization in Fall 2023. Hartsfield was identified as a Leon County School District Magnet School as of 2022. In line with the International Baccalaureate, HMSIS has a focus on stimulating curiosity and inquiry in order to foster a spirit of discovery and enjoyment of learning. Through the 10 attributes of the IB learner profile, our school aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. With this goal in mind, IB themes of global significance are explored each year from PreK through 5th grade. For more information about IB Primary Years Programme visit: http://www.ibo.org/pyp/ 

*This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy- a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education- that we believe is important for our students. Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
