Ocean Avenue Elementary School is proud to be Maine's first International Baccalaureate IB WORLD SCHOOL offering the Primary Years Program (IB PYP). The IB PYP inquiry-driven learning model was adopted by Ocean Ave School as part of its school‑improvement long‑range plan, after input from teachers, parents and administrators. We are working with full commitment to build the program into the fabric of the curriculum school‑wide with the six concept‑based trans‑disciplinary Units of Inquiry at each grade level.

In addition, we are exploring and practicing "internationally‑minded" character traits across the school community with the IB Learner Profile and IB attitudes. We were authorized as an IB World School offering the PYP in July 2016.
