MYP at LAB

Leigh Academy Blackheath became an authorised IB World School for Years 7 and 8 in April 2021, after a successful visit by two renowned IB educators. Later, in November 2021, we saw our authorization extend to Year 9 as well.

At LAB, we take pride in a broad and balanced, constantly evolving curriculum that ensures our students have every opportunity to learn powerful and diverse knowledge with the clear aim of promoting intercultural understanding and respect for others.
