Fridley Schools has a vision to become a World-Class Community of Learners.  One aspect of attaining this vision has been the implementation of the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme in all grades, K-12.  IB world schools are those that share a common mission:

The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.

These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
