Dougherty International Education Middle School is an International Baccalaureate prospective school and as such seeks to develop students who are life-long learners, critical thinkers and responsible global citizens. Students are provided rigorous academic learning opportunities and an environment in which they develop an appreciation of their own culture, as well as others; develop effective communication skills in their native language, as well as a foreign language (Spanish); and make communication among subjects they are learning in school and in real life.

The program aims to enable students to:

• Build upon their spirit of discovery to develop an understanding and enjoyment of the process of learning independently and in cooperation with others
• Acquire knowledge and understanding and prepare for further learning
• Recognize the extent to which knowledge is interrelated
• Learn to communicate effectively in a variety of ways
• Develop a sense of personal and cultural identity and respect for themselves and for others
• Acquire insights into local and global concerns affecting health, the community and the environment, and develop a sense of individual and collective responsibility and citizenship
