JQES has been an accredited IB World School since September 2022. We are the first Boston Public Elementary School to have an accredited International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Program; with a guaranteed pathway to the Josiah Quincy Upper School, another IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy—a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering challenging, high quality programmes of international education that share a powerful vision.
