Aldine ISD — Giving Our Students a World of Choices

Choice Schools

Aldine ISD’s Choice Schools program allows families to select the school that best meets their child’s educational needs through a lottery process. A Choice School application is required to attend a Choice School that is not a student’s neighborhood school.

International Baccalaureate (IB) Schools

The International Baccalaureate® studies program targets students in prekindergarten through 12th grade. The IB program is another school choice that provides a globally recognized and highly engaging curriculum. The rigorous studies challenge students to achieve success while becoming thoughtful, caring and active citizens of the world.

The focus is to prepare students to live, learn and work in the globally interconnected society of the 21st century.

Students can follow the entire IB continuum, which includes the Primary Years Program, Middle Years Program and Diploma Program. It is worth noting that the IB Diploma Program is a globally recognized honors curriculum. Many colleges and universities award credit upon exam results.

• Develops the whole child.
• Emphasizes academic challenges and the development of life skills
• Encourages a positive attitude to learning by motivating students to ask challenging questions, to reflect critically, to develop research skills, and to learn how to learn. The goal is to prepare students for the demands of college work.
• Instills community service because IB believes that there is more to learning than academic studies alone.

These offerings give students a school-within-a-school learning community experience that drives students to grow to their full potential academically and in their area of interest.
