At BCA, we embrace the International Baccalaureate’s commitment to fostering confident, critical thinkers.
As an IB World School, we provide all students in pre-kindergarten to grade 5 with the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). This well-rounded, in-depth curriculum extends beyond academic excellence, guiding students in their exploration of local and global contexts, as well as fostering multilingual abilities.

Inquiry-Based
Learning
Our inquiry-based learning approach, integral to the International Baccalaureate philosophy, encourages students to actively participate in their education. Through the Units of Inquiry framework, we promote critical thinking, curiosity, and the pursuit of knowledge across a range of disciplines. This approach fosters a deep connection with the world and stimulates a lifelong passion for learning.
Social-Emotional
Learning
We believe in creating a nurturing environment that supports our students’ overall well-being. The principles of the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile are woven into our social-emotional learning approach, helping students to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, and establish positive relationships. At Willows Prep, we go beyond traditional learning, preparing students for life’s challenges.
