Academic Programs

TAKE THE INITIATIVE ASK QUESTIONS FIND YOUR VOICE

At the heart of Beaumont’s academic program is an exceptional college preparatory curriculum that welcomes your critical thinking, curiosity, and collaboration. As a student at the only all-girls’ school in Northeast Ohio to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, you will become a global-minded citizen prepared to solve the critical problems we face in the world.

The International Baccalaureate Programme is built around The Core:

Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is an interdisciplinary course designed to help you question and understand how you know what you know.

Creativity-Activity-Service (CAS) is the experiential learning component of IB. You will complete a wide variety of extracurricular, community service and athletic options.

The Extended Essay (EE) introduces you to the demands and the rewards of independent work. Emphasis is placed on doing university-level research and communicating your ideas effectively in an essay in an area of personal interest to you.

With an IB diploma you’ll be twice as likely to get accepted into the most competitive colleges and universities in the world, and you’ll receive more scholarship dollars.

Science. Technology. Engineering. Math. We know girls discover by doing, and that they are motivated by real and tangible work they do in STEM. They want to code, build, design, and solve real problems with real solutions.

At Beaumont, we make it real. You will do experiments and projects that affect everyday life. For example, you may work on a 3D-printed hand to the exact specifications of a child who needs a prosthetic hand.

We make it relevant. You’ll solve real problems in project-based formats that are engaging and encourage innovation. For example, you might be on our next robotics team to design, build, and run a combat robot at competition. Last year, we were the only all-girls’ high school in the robot competition where we took third nationally and first for documentation, presentation, and design.

We make it possible. You’ll hear from role models, mentors, alumnae who are working and leading in STEM careers today.

Our courses are designed to inspire innovation and creativity and encourage you to collaborate, problem solve, and communicate.
