We are one of the oldest international Baccalaureate (IB) schools in the United States having been chartered in 1978. The IB program consists of courses and examinations offered at schools all over the world. The program is more advanced than ordinary high school courses and allows students to study subjects in depth, helping them to prepare for college work. The IB program is motivated by the idealistic vision that by teaching critical thinking and international understanding, and by exposing students to a variety of points of view, that they will become caring and productive citizens of the world.

Students may take IB exams at the end of their course work which may earn them college credit. IB participation is an important criterion in college admissions.
