IB Diploma Program (11th & 12th Grade)

Only schools officially approved by the International Baccalaureate Organization are authorized to offer the IB curriculum, which is an advanced program for students who want to participate in a challenging academic environment that gives them a global perspective on people, cultures, history, and events while meeting the highest academic requirements for admission to top colleges in the US and abroad.

 

The student who satisfies the demands of the IB program demonstrates a strong commitment to learning, both in terms of mastery of subject content and in development of the skills and discipline necessary for success in a competitive world.
