The International
Baccalaureate
Program

The International Baccalaureate Program is a comprehensive curriculum that responds to the need for greater challenge for gifted high school students.

• Designed and administered by the home office in Geneva, Switzerland, the program encompasses internationally-based standards of achievement.
• Successful completion of the course work and examinations at the junior/senior level may earn students credit or advanced placement at colleges and universities around the world.
• The curriculum is designed to provide a broad liberal arts experience for the college bound student. Each student will become proficient in language and mathematics studies, the two most important tools of communication and analysis, and participate in an in-depth exploration of the study of human behavior and the process of educational inquiry.
• The resulting educational experience will provide the student with a well-rounded, high academic course of study emphasizing the development of the total individual.
• Participation in the International Baccalaureate program may begin with the pre-IB courses at the freshman/sophomore level with a review prior to entering the full program at the junior level. Course work in the ninth and tenth grade emphasizes higher levels of thinking and critical analysis.
• Junior/Senior level International Baccalaureate courses focus on advanced curriculum, guided coursework, and preparation for externally moderated exams.
