International Baccalaureate Program History |
The International Baccalaureate program was founded in 1967 to provide a rigorous, internationally minded, well-rounded education for students throughout the world, enabling them to qualify for university study no matter where they pursued their high school education. The IB program has a common, broadly-based curriculum which is assessed by internationally developed and graded examinations. The curriculum follows the objectives, topics, and materials recommended by the International Baccalaureate Board.
IB students graduate with the skills and discipline necessary for success in a globally competitive world. Because IB pushes students in all subject areas, an IB diploma will help make a student a more competitive applicant at top tier colleges. If just earning college credit while in high school is your goal, there are other programs like AP, AICE and dual enrollment that may also fit your needs. If your ultimate goal is to receive the most comprehensive, challenging education that will prepare you for success at any major university in the world, consider applying to be a part of the SCHS IB program.
IB students are leaders. They are active and involved in their school and community. They are smart and work hard, but also know how to have fun. They find joy in being involved in things that feed their passions; from computers, to athletics, to music, to jobs and family. They develop close friendships as they share classes with the same group of students for four years. IB students are not perfect students, but they are ready and willing to engage in a challenging curriculum at an awesome school that will uniquely prepare them for high level studies in college and beyond.
