IB Diploma Programme

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a two year course of study that gives students the opportunity to take college-level classes and earn college credits while still in high school. This rigorous program begins with two years of preparatory work in grades 9 and 10 to give students necessary critical thinking skills. Students in the IB Academy participate in enrichment programs both in and out of school that help to make them well-rounded, independent, and knowledgeable about the world around them.

Upon successful completion of the program students can earn a year’s worth of college credit.
