Eagle Hill School Celebrates International Baccalaureate Student Achievement

Eagle Hill School is proud to celebrate the accomplishments of students enrolled in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. This year, three members of the Class of 2026—David Ford, Jessye Kramer, and Ryan Lee—earned the prestigious IB Diploma, an internationally recognized degree that signifies academic achievement, perseverance, and a commitment to rigorous study.

As the only IB World School dedicated exclusively to students with learning differences, Eagle Hill offers a distinctive approach to the IB Diploma Programme. Students have the flexibility to pursue the full diploma or enroll in individual IB courses that match their interests, strengths, and academic goals. Students challenge themselves while building confidence and preparing for success beyond high school.

In addition to this year's diploma recipients, Eagle Hill recognizes the Class of 2026 students who successfully completed one or more IB courses or pursued the full IB Diploma Programme: Hezzy Benson, Zach Davis, Jasper Dolan, David Ford, Teddy Halpin, Xavier Koch, Jessye Kramer, Frederick Kutrieb, Ryan Lee, Gabby Lotter, Nick Mooney, Martin Olsen, Katherine Orphanos, Toby Petrokansky, and Sam Ruggles. Whether completing a single IB course, several courses, or the full diploma programme, these students demonstrated a willingness to embrace academic challenge and expand their learning.

"I would say across the board, what motivates the IB students here is a certain sense of pride," said Jason Przypek, IB Diploma Programme Coordinator and History Department Chair.

"I would say across the board, what motivates the IB students here is a certain sense of pride," said Jason Przypek, IB Diploma Programme Coordinator and History Department Chair. "They want to test themselves. I think a typical narrative would be a student who perhaps wasn't feeling the best about their academic ability comes here and begins in their first two years to really understand that they are capable learners."

Congratulations to all of this year's IB students for their hard work and dedication. Their achievements reflect Eagle Hill School's commitment to helping students discover their strengths, develop confidence, and pursue ambitious academic goals in an environment designed for the way they learn.
