The International Baccalaureate

Who is the IB for?

The IB is a great fit for students who are curious, motivated, and willing to challenge themselves. Students do not need to be “gifted” to succeed. Many students grow into the program with the right support.

Why Families Choose the IB

Students in IB learn how to:

• Think critically and write clearly
• Manage time and complex projects
• Analyze information from local and global perspectives
• Advocate for themselves
• Prepare for college-level expectations
• Balance reflection, leadership, and community engagement

Colleges recognize IB as one of the strongest academic programs in the world.

• Colorado law guarantees IBDP graduates 24 college credits or the equivalent when students attend an in-state institution

• Passing scores for exams can be worth anywhere from 3 to 10 college credits each (dependent on the type of exam and score)
• Many national and international universities have higher acceptance rates for IBDP graduates
