Brown Elementary School in Denver, CO is currently implementing the Primary Years Programme (their word not mine) developed by the International Baccalaureate Organization so I'm vaguely familiar with this curriculum. An essential component of the program (I refuse to use their spelling again) is the acquisition of another language. The purpose of the program is to stimulate growth in five essential areas: attitude, concepts, action, knowledge, and skills. The foundation for the knowledge component is built upon six universal ideas: Who we are, where we are in place and time, how we express ourselves, how the world works, how we organize ourselves, and sharing the planet. The course of study includes language, social studies, mathematics, the arts, science and technology, and personal, social & physical education.

It's gobbledygook, if you ask me, or "edu-speak" for how can we waste your tax dollars and achieve the same mediocre results in public schools. Hooray! :)

A baccalaureate program is a program of studies offered at a college/university, and upon completion of such (@ 128 hours minimum) a bachelor's degree is awarded.

Bachelor's degree = baccalaureate degree

Baccalaureate
It's an internationally recognized program. There's lots of information about it online.

Maybe they should have asked! As we say in France: It's better to look stupid for 5 minutes than to remain stupid one's all life!

Anyway, they should have explained it to them or have asked them if they knew what it was. I mean, I'm sure this is not that common.

I think you spelled it incorrectly.
