Connecticut IB Academy

Our Mission

The Connecticut IB Academy promotes academic excellence and social development through the IB learner profile and rigorous, student-centered learning experiences. By fostering international mindedness, students are empowered to consider diverse perspectives and make a difference in the world through service and action.

Our Motto                                                                                                                                                                                  
scire non satis est
To Know is Not Enough

While CIBA students are expected to achieve academically at high levels, the motto reflects the IB philosophy that “knowing” is not enough. CIBA students are expected to be positive change-makers in our world with the knowledge and academic skills they obtain in their four years at CIBA and beyond.
