The mission of Mackintosh Academy is to provide a stimulating and enjoyable environment for the gifted child that promotes academic excellence and intercultural understanding. Our goal is to maximize learning potential and promote development of the whole child. We want our students to mature into whole, healthy human beings who are confident about their unique gifts and their place in the world as worthwhile contributors, who have keen minds and compassionate hearts and who contribute their special gifts to a world that needs them.
We are committed to an academic program that emphasizes a passion for life-long learning. In pursuing this goal, we strive to ensure that each child develops socially, emotionally, creatively, physically, and cognitively in a nurturing and supportive environment.
Established in 1968 in Geneva, Switzerland, the IB program was developed by a group of schools seeking a common curriculum for its students who moved from school to school. They designed a curriculum that could be taught anywhere and recognized worldwide by universities and colleges. The program gives students discipline, creativity, flexibility, skills, and a personal value system by which they can guide their own lives and become thoughtful and involved members of local communities and our global world. Mackintosh Academy is honored to have been accredited as an IB World School by the IBO and be a part of this prestigious organization.
