The course of study includes Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Modern Language, English, and either a subject in the performing or Visual Arts or an Additional Science subject. A mandatory service component is also part of this course, leading to the award of a U.S. High School Diploma.
IB Courses:
Students can choose to switch at least one or a maximum of six Premium High School Subjects with an IB subject. This flexible option allows students to explore their interests and strengths, earning both a U.S. High School Diploma and certificates in the IB Subjects they select.
International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP):
The IBDP offers a holistic pre-university challenge. Students study six subjects at the Standard or Higher Level, including Mathematics, Science, Humanities, The Visual and Performing Arts, Modern Language, and English. They also undertake an Extended Essay, explore the Theory of Knowledge, and engage in Community, Action, and Service (CAS). Completing the IBDP results in earning the prestigious IB Diploma alongside a U.S. High School Diploma.
