What is IB?

Welcome to the Atlee High School International Baccalaureate Program! Authorization to become an IB World School is a rigorous, two to three year process. Every five years, schools are required to go through a review to attain reauthorization. The IB Program is a prestigious international program that offers a rigorous course of study that meets the needs of highly motivated students. This program provides students with the life skills necessary for success in a global society. In addition to the academic rigor, IB helps create well-rounded students by requiring participation in community service and extracurricular activities. Enrollment in the IB program is open to all students, which allows students to complete the IB Diploma requirements or take individual IB courses.

Interested?

Eighth grade students interested in the IB program should speak with their school counselor. Ninth and tenth grade students should speak with the IB Coordinator or their school counselor. 

IB Mission Statement

To this end, the organization works with schools, governments, and international organizations to develop challenging programs of international education and rigorous assessment. These programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
