Connecticut International Baccalaureate Academy

Connecticut International Baccalaureate Academy

Connecticut International Baccalaureate Academy (CIBA) is a magnet school located in East Hartford, Connecticut right next door to East Hartford High School connected by a bridge. The school has three academic levels: college-preparatory, honors, and AP levels.

The Academy’s founding body - The International Baccalaureate Organization- was formally chartered in 1968. Its advent, however, dates all the way back to the mid-1920s, when a number of international schools took steps to establish a “common curriculum and university entry credential for geographically mobile students” while furnishing the “shared academic experience emphasizing critical thinking and exposure to a variety of points of view [that] would encourage intercultural understanding and acceptance of others by young people. They succeeded.

CIBA is part of the East Hartford Public School system and is under the jurisdiction of Dr. Marion Martinez, Ed.D., Superintendent of the East Hartford Public Schools.

CIBA is a distinguished Blue Ribbon School that is ranked among the best in America by the U.S. Department of Education.[1]
