Boyd Elementary is one of only two elementary schools in Missouri authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program. IB PYP focuses on the total growth of the developing child by offering an international, inquiry based curriculum of themes that go across all subjects in the school. All students receive weekly second language instruction in Spanish.
Boyd Elementary participates with nearby Drury University as a partner school, which improves academic performance by addressing developmental issues that impact a child’s academic progress.
