Thinking Globally

At Marietta Sixth Grade Academy, being an IB school means encouraging kids to think globally and to explore interests both in school and through out-of-school clubs and activities. This involves engaging community partners to provide support they can’t offer at the school and offering professional development to help staff meet the specific needs of young adolescents.
