Hill- Freedman World Academy is an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, which means that HFWA students have an incredible opportunity to access a world class education. IB is internationally recognized as the highest quality secondary curriculum available. This program provides excellent college preparation and a well-rounded education. IB helps students explore their strengths and obtain the academic training they need for success in college and in life.
At HFWA, ALL students participate in the IB Middle Years Program (grades 6-10) and the IB Diploma Program during their junior and senior years. The IB program is not a ‘test in” program and is appropriate for all types of learners. An IB education encourages students to ask questions, think critically, and take their time exploring subjects in depth, skills we expect all graduates of HF to acquire.
