For many years our programme has enjoyed the support of Stetson University and specifically the duPont-Ball Library. Quite generously, the library allows our IB students access to electronic and print resources that are often necessary for the completion of internal assessments and the extended essay.
We are very grateful for this support for our Diploma Programme students.
