Currently, the school offers the International Baccalaureate Program, in both its MYP (Middle Years Program) and DP (Diploma Program) varieties. Academic and Applied level students account for roughly half of the school demographic, with the other half populated by IB students. The school is also widely known for being very multicultural.

Athletics

The Gryphons are the official sports team.[4] The school has teams active in many sports and recreational activities. There are many other sports available to the students as well. The school participated in the non-profit fundraiser known as The Inside Ride to help raise money for cancer research. This included riding indoor bicycles for a total of an hour inside the school gym. Students formed teams to raise money and each team dressed up in their respective themes to relayed the bike ride throughout the hour. The school recently underwent a gym renovation in 2014, after a flooding wrecked the original gym floor dating back to 1969. The school specializes in sports such as badminton, volleyball, ball hockey, flag football, cricket, soccer, rugby, table tennis, and track and field.
