Dear Lausanne Family,
3
One of the most important questions that boards, headmasters and faculties
must continually examine is whether or not we are preparing our children for
the world into which they will graduate. This is the central question of our
mission: to prepare each of our students for college and for life in a global environment.
In the student-centered culture of
Lausanne the answer to that question
lies in fully understanding and
appreciating the children in our care
and in anticipating the demands that
their future will put on them. In doing
so we must always be careful to be
mindful of and to preserve Lausanne ‘s
eighty-plus year tradition of academic
excellence, our strong and caring
faculty and our diverse and
welcoming community.
We have an obligation to examine current research about learning and to plan
according to the sociological, educational and political realities of the time.
That’s why Lausanne adopted 1:1 laptop education almost a decade ago. We
understand that our children are technology natives and that if they are to
compete in Tom Friedman’s well-documented “flat world”, they must be able
to use the tools that are available to them in the most useful and responsible
manner. Yes, it would be simpler and less expensive to pretend that the world
has not changed and continue to teach in the same way classes were taught at
Lausanne in 1926, but we would be doing a profound disservice to our children,
their future and their families.
We have seen ample proof this year that we are doing an effective job of
fulfilling the first part of our mission. Just look at the college acceptance lists
both in this magazine and on our website, not to mention the construction of
our new gymnasium, library and field spaces, equipping our students with the
skills they need for college. Now, with the advent of the International
Baccalaureate Programme which is described in depth in the following pages,
we will be able to fulfill the second half with a robust and challenging program
whose effects will permeate the entire school.
A prominent Memphis public educator, after touring our campus, remarked
“you have the world at Lausanne.” Indeed we do. Now, we will be able to create
educational and cultural experiences for our students that outstrip school, city
and national boundaries. What a wonderful opportunity for our children.
Welcome to the future!

the ib comes to lausanne
For over eight decades, Lausanne has brought the
world to its students and shared its students with
the world. With the selection of Lausanne as an
International Baccalaureate (IB) World School in
December of 2009, that global-mindedness is even
more in the forefront, shaping the education of not
just this first group of students but of the entire
student body for years to come.

IB Comes to Lausanne
Beyond the Classroom
The Ideal Student
Touching the Lives of Every Student
Starting in the fall of 2010, Lausanne
Collegiate School will offer the IB
Diploma Programme to qualified
eleventh and twelfth graders in an
intensive and rewarding two year course
of study. Lausanne is currently the only
independent school in Tennessee to offer
the IB. From its Swiss roots in 1968, the
IB program has prepared students to
perform with excellence and has
cultivated international-mindedness.
Beginning in the fall of 2010 and
graduating in 2012, the first class of
Lausanne’s IB students will leave
Lausanne more than prepared for college
and life in a global environment.
Creativity, action, service (CAS),
an integral part of the IB program,
incorporates values that are already
important to Lausanne’s student culture.
Part of the IB program focuses on the
growth of students as they participate
in activities outside of the classroom.
All Lausanne students will be involved,
creating a unified student body as
students grow individually.
So what does it take to successfully
complete the IB Diploma Programme?
The IB student will be tested by
externally moderated oral and written
examinations. These require motivation
and focus throughout the two-year
program. Stephen Campbell, Director of
International Programs, suggests, “Great
time management skills and organization
are the number one deciders for success
in the IB program, college, everything.”
These skills are indeed critical for the
CAS component of IB.
While the IB Diploma Programme is
available only for qualified eleventh
through twelfth grade students,
Campbell is quick to note, “IB is going to
touch the lives of every single student.”
Faculty across all divisions have worked
together to revise curriculum to prepare
all students for the global mindset that is
needed, not just in the IB, but for every
student in today’s global environment.
Dr. Tom New, Head of Upper School,
explains, “We are using competencies
and essential skills for IB coursework
and assessments as the standard for
evaluating and building the curricula
of each subject area.”
The first group of students in the IB
program at Lausanne will take classes in
six main subject areas. Over two years,
these students will write independent
research papers, participate inmeaningful
extra-curricular activities and develop
their knowledge through a global lens.
To finish the program successfully,
students must excel in
both written and oral
examinations judged by
examiners from around
the world.

In many instances, a student’s CAS
activities will simply be those activities
in which he or she already is involved –
team sports, volunteering for Habitat for
Humanity, performing in the arts. From
painting to unicycling, the possibilities
are endless. As Kim Davis, Director for
Student Life, sees it, “Students’ projects
will be a reflection of who they are.” IB
students will create a journal during this
18-month process, reflecting on their
growth. While students may choose to
focus on one activity for many of their
hours, they must have variety overall.
While CAS hours can come from
activities in which students already
participate, Davis writes, “When it
comes to their schedules, the students fit
in CAS to their own time.” The IB
student is able to take on a broad range
of ideas and activities with focus and
organization. Of course, students who
decide not to participate in IB will
continue to develop lifelong skills and
interact with the entire Lausanne
community. [The IB students have
something to say. See “In Their Own
Words” following this article.]
Already one of the core subjects taught
at Lausanne, foreign language will
continue to be a critical component of
the pre-IB education. Similarly, students
will begin cornerstone projects that
reflect the skills needed for the IB in
age-appropriate ways.

“
The authorization to become IB is an
endorsement of what we already do. It
fits culturally, academically, socially and
demographically – it’s where we have
been, it’s where we are going.”
All The Way to Age 3
This pre-IB preparation starts as soon
as students walk in the door at age three
in what’s called the Project Approach.
Unlike many schools, where early
childhood curricula are tied to the
calendar (i.e., February is heart month),
under the Project Approach, students
learn about a topic that interests them
the most. Feet, farms, corn, teeth,
transportation, you name it, are just
some of the topics our students in
prekindergarten through senior
kindergarten have read about, written
about and researched this school year.
This vibrant methodology takes
advantage of each child’s core strengths
and focuses on the student, not on a preset curriculum. Learning takes place
within groups with project phases and
timetables to help guide each class to
completion. The benefits of the Project
Approach are clear, suggests Early
Childhood Coordinator Kara Barbour.
“Students know their opinions and their
input matters, they develop and pursue
their passions, they learn to work with
others and to listen to others’ points of
view and they gain from a mix of
teacher- and student-initiated activities.”

Zombies, Water Stagnation
and the NBA
What do zombies, water stagnation
and NBA marketing strategies have
in common? They all belong in the
independent research papers of
Lausanne’s eighth graders. Starting
this year, eighth grade students began
this research paper-writing process,
designed as a developmentallyappropriate reflection of the Diploma
Programme’s extended essay.
Throughout the year, students were
challenged to come up with their own
topics of interest, create annotated
bibliographies and synthesize the
information they uncovered into sixpage papers. Thus, each benefited from
the IB approach at this grade level, and
skill sets were developed across the
board. Notes Assistant Head of Middle
School and Pre-IB Coordinator Josh
Clark, “Lausanne students are not
walking in to their junior and senior
years blindly, they are walking in more
than prepared.”
Teacher Approved
What do Lausanne teachers think about
the IB program? Just ask IB English
teacher Dr. Judy Steinbach. Steinbach
taught IB at an international school in
Italy and sees the IB as a positive benefit
for students. “An interrelationship of
classes will allow students to be
energized and excited by their peers,”
she suggests.
Beyond IB students’ collaborative
strength lies their innate curiosity and
energy. Lausanne’s IB Spanish teacher
Rocio Rodriguez notes, “When I taught
college, invariably IB students were
among the best prepared … wellrounded, deeply reflective and genuinely
curious beings.”
Laying the Groundwork
for College Success
Speaking of college, IB not only offers a
challenging and global educational
perspective, but practically speaking, can
open doors to universities worldwide.
Need proof? Just ask Harvard’s Assistant
Dean of Admissions who writes, “IB is
well known to us as excellent
preparation. Success in an IB program
correlates well with success at Harvard.
We are always pleased to see the
credentials of the IB Diploma
Programme on the transcript.”
Or, consider Vanderbilt, where only
37% of the total population who applies
are accepted compared with the 73%
acceptance rate of those with an IB
diploma. The IB Diploma and grades in
each standard level or higher level
course can often mean substantial
college credit from six to eight credit
hours in subjects ranging from biology
to history and economics to foreign
languages and more.
A Natural Fit
In over 80 years of its existence,
Lausanne has been committed to a
strong academic program and has hosted
numerous international students. As
Headmaster Stuart McCathie states,
“From the very beginning there was an
outward-looking approach beyond the
boundaries of the city and Shelby
County.” Since 1926, Lausanne has
looked to the very best schools
nationally and internationally for
comparison.
What’s most exciting about the school’s
selection as an IB World School?
McCathie argues it’s the automatic
connection to Lausanne’s already strong
commitment to academic excellence and
international-mindedness. He notes,
“The authorization to become IB is an
endorsement of what we already do. It
fits culturally, academically, socially and
demographically – it’s where we have
been, it’s where we are going.”

Lausanne’s First IB Cohort Speaks Out
Recently, Lausanne Magazine sat down for a chat with the rising juniors
selected to begin Lausanne’s IB program in the fall of 2010. Here is a glimpse
into that conversation.
Want to know what it feels like to be selected for the first-ever International Baccalaureate
cohort at Lausanne Collegiate School? Ask a cohort member and you’ll hear the following:
Energized
Grateful!
Excited!
Elated!

ready!
LM: Why did you decide to apply for Lausanne’s IB Diploma
Programme?
Issa Basco: I applied because the IB program is suited for a
student who wants to be educated on becoming a citizen in
the global community, an important asset in education because
our world is becoming smaller and smaller these days. The IB,
I believe, suits the future, and I want to be a part of that
future somehow.
Bode Faleye: To me, this program really embodies what I will
need to prepare me for college and for life after that [the mission
of Lausanne Collegiate School]. Besides the direct knowledge I
will obtain from the curriculum, it will provide me with key
organization skills that will be very helpful in the future and
mentally prepare me for the type of work I will be facing.
Sydney Clarke: I decided to apply to the IB program for I
believed it would be a great extension to the learning I was
already doing. I felt like the IB program was a chance for me to
step outside the box and challenge myself.
LM: When you think of next fall and the start of classes, what
are you most excited about?
Leslie Pace: I think I am most excited about the style of
classes and all of the wonderful teachers I am going to have. I
am also very excited about getting to know some of the other
students in my grade that I haven’t really had the time to get to
know this past year. Also, I am super-excited about Chemistry
HL [higher level].
Audrey Wilcox: The new library to work in!! And simply
just seeing how the classes are structured and work.
Kelly Tran: I love studying and hanging out with friends,
so being in the IB makes me study a lot and helps me get
closer to friends.
Spencer Ware: The concept of having a smaller group of
keenly-honed students with whom to learn is pretty exciting.
LM: What does your family think about your being in the
IB Programme?
Asha Bell: My family is excited about the challenges I will face
in the IB program, and they are ready and available to help me
whenever I need it. I will be the first in my family to hopefully
graduate with an IB Diploma.
Anna Gardner: My family is excited about the program and
greatly supports my decision to participate. They are also
prepared to support me for the next two years if I am feeling
overwhelmed.
Tyler Epps: My parents are proud of me for being proactive
and applying, rather than them having to tell me.
LM: How will you balance academics and other parts of your
life once in the IB Diploma Programme?
Stephanie Clein: Many of my extracurricular activities involve
the CAS (creativity, action and service) component of the IB
program, and so while doing these activities, I will also be
fulfilling my requirements.
Sydney Clarke: I’m a firm believer in keeping a to-do list and
calendar to make sure that at all times I know exactly what is
ahead for me. I also will manage my time wisely, for when you
manage your time, you make room for time to have fun and
relieve stress.
Issa Basco: Just as I always have. For me, IB will teach balance
and well-roundedness….That is what it aims for in a student:
well-roundedness and a devotion to be excellent in as many
fields as possible. I hope to apply this in my life also.
LM: If a student from another school were interested in
Lausanne’s IB Diploma Programme, what would you say to
him or her?
Asha Bell: The IB is a great way to prepare yourself for a great
future in high school, and throughout your life, but be ready
for some challenges.
Stephanie Clein: Being in the IB Diploma Programme is a
once-in-a-lifetime chance that no one should miss out on!
Kelly Tran: I can do it. So can you!
