Edgewood ISD is an open-boundary school district; all students from the San Antonio Area can apply to an Edgewood School of Innovation.
International Baccalaureate
Through the partnership with Texas Council for International Studies (TCIS), Las Palmas Leadership School for Girls and Roy Cisneros Leadership School for Boys are Candidate Schools* for the PYP & MYP. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that Edgewood believes is important for our students.
*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes.
Through the implementation of International Baccalaureate® (IB) program, these campuses - along with the Texas Council for International Studies - will promote their mission to develop internationally minded students who are caring, respectful, and mindful of intercultural interactions and differences. It is because of this that our students will be responsible, inquisitive, honest, and open-minded as they work hard to improve academically and personally.
