Connecticut IB Academy

It is with great enthusiasm and pride that I welcome you to the 2019-2020 school year at the Connecticut IB Academy (CIBA), an International Baccalaureate World School®. We continue to strive for excellence to provide a high-quality education for each child to meet the demands of our ever-changing global society. CIBA is unique because of its diver... sity, numerous accolades, focus on service and the development of each learner, and established traditions. The students, families, and staff are the heart of CIBA. With the support from the EHPS Board of Education members and EHPS Central Office team, CIBA continues to reach new heights. This year CIBA was recognized as the #5 Best High School in Connecticut by U.S. News and World Report based on indicators such as College Readiness, College Curriculum Breadth, Math and Reading Proficiency, Math and Reading Performance, Undeserved Student Performance, and Graduation Rate. This distinction is not only a testament to our commitment and dedication to students, but also provides recognition of the efforts from the entire CIBA staff and families. CIBA was accredited in 2017 to offer the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme® (MYP) in grades nine and ten. The MYP ensures that our students are better prepared for the demands of the Diploma Programme® (DP). Our Diploma Programme®, established in 2000, was recently reauthorized to ensure its alignment with IB standards and practices as well as its continual growth and development. Please familiarize yourself with the 2019-2020 CIBA Parent/Student Handbook and Agenda Planner. It is an addendum to the EHPS District Parent/Student Handbook. Please note that as members of the EHPS school community, CIBA students are subject to all of the policies and regulations of the East Hartford Board of Education. We are excited that you have chosen CIBA and look forward to a successful 2019-2020 school year!Read More
