International Baccalaureate
The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is a globally-recognized high school curriculum offered at A.C. Davis High School. The IB Program focuses on developing critical thinking, intercultural understanding, and a holistic approach to learning. The IB Program prepares students for university studies by encouraging them to think critically, research independently, and engage with complex global issues while fostering a sense of social responsibility and global citizenship.
The IB Program also aims to develop students academically, socially, and emotionally. Students are encouraged to consider issues from different viewpoints and understand global issues while offering challenging courses across a variety of disciplines. A.C. Davis offers IB courses ranging from math and science to the arts and humanities. The IB curriculum is designed to foster independent learning, international-mindedness, and a strong sense of responsibility, making it highly regarded by top universities worldwide. The primary value of this intensive course of study is the extra preparation and skill development that allows students to excel in their post-high school opportunities.
To get involved in the International Baccalaureate program students should be willing to work hard and take honors courses in the subject areas that they are interested in during the ninth and tenth grades. The International Baccalaureate courses are offered in grades eleven and twelve.
