Montessori Foundation, International Baccalaureate® Diploma The Montessori curriculum in our Early Childhood and Elementary programs is the foundation that leads to our International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme, and sets us apart from every other school in Austin. Both Montessori and IB share a dedication to growing compassionate global citizens who are self-directed, lifelong learners. The mission of the International Baccalaureate is “to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.” This is exactly what Maria Montessori hoped to create—a way of helping children learn who they are both as individuals and as part of the global community.
