About IB ...
The IBO's Diploma Programme (DP) was created in 1968 in Geneva, Switzerland. It is a demanding pre-university course of study that leads to examinations. It is designed for highly motivated secondary school students aged 16 to 19.
The programme was born of efforts to establish a common curriculum and university entry credential for students moving from one country to another. International educators were motivated by practical considerations but also by an idealistic vision. They believed that students should share an academic experience that would emphasize critical thinking, intercultural understanding, and exposure to a variety of points of view.
The programme has earned a reputation for rigorous assessment, giving IB diploma holders access to the world's leading universities. The IBO has shown, over the course of 31 years, that students are well prepared for university work. They are accepted by universities all over the world.
The programme is a comprehensive two-year international curriculum, for juniors and seniors in high school. When combined with Tates Creek High School, Fayette County, and Kentucky classes, the IB courses allow students to fulfill all graduation requirements.
