IB

IB is an acronym for International Baccalaureate. IB high schools use a specific rigorous curriculum that aims to develop and challenge inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who are motivated to succeed.

IB schools strive to develop students who will build a better world through intercultural understanding and respect.

IB programs are different from other curricula because they:

• Encourage students of all ages to think critically and challenge assumptions
• Develop independently or through government and national systems, incorporating quality practice from research and our global community of schools
• Encourage students of all ages to consider both local and global context
• Develop multilingual students

Students who complete the high school requirements of IB will earn a specific type of diploma called an IB diploma. The IB diploma is recognized by the state of Florida as a more rigorous diploma than a regular Florida high school diploma.
