The IB program is a journey through an international curriculum in which students are required to grow personally and academically. It is the most academically rigorous program that we offer; as a result, the IB diploma program prepares our students to thrive at any institution of higher learning.

Brahma Tech is a comprehensive program that prepares students for future careers in the highly technological 21st century by offering advanced study in 4 areas: Science and Engineering, Digital Media and Design, Information and Communication Technology, and Computer Science.

Our Performing Arts Academy features opportunities for students to enhance their personal performance excellence through focused study in their performing art, interaction with university faculty, and experiences with professional performers.
