IBMYP/Common Core

Authorized International Baccalaureate Programme at VMMS

Vista Magnet Middle School earned their Authorization in April 2012 and marked a journey that began in 2007. The process was extensive and our work instructionally challenged us to THINK creatively and globally. 

You will often see your son or daughter engaged in discussion about what it takes to be an "IB Learner," a person who is a thinker, an inquirer, a communicator, a risk-taker, knowledgeable, principled, caring, open-minded, reflective and balanced. These are the qualities of a VMMS Viper that we cherish and celebrate.

The IB Philosophy:

The IB philosophy is contained within the IB Learner Profile, which aims to" develop internationally-minded people, who, recognizing our common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world."

Community & Service:

So, Why Should I Become Involved In Our Community?

Service as Action projects will give you opportunities to serve your local and global communities and
todevelop into a responsible, caring  citizen. Volunteering provides you with a chance to change the world and discover how you can contribute your unique talents and energy to those in need. You will soon find that practicing
selflessness in your community will make you a happier person, too. As you see what you are accomplishing in your world, you will feel terrific
about yourself!
