Gifted & Talented/International Baccalaureate Academy

Academy students in the graduating class of 2024 will continue taking the existing Academy course sequence consisting of a series of Advanced Placement (AP) courses in their junior and senior years for their English, Science, Math, and Social Science courses.
Academy students of the graduating class of 2025 and after, will take honors-level AP classes in their freshman and sophomore years, and will then transition into our International Baccalaureate Diploma Program course offerings. Academy students may select how many, and which IB courses they would like to enroll in, but must enroll in at least two IB courses to maintain their Academy membership.
For further information about the IB and its program, please visit International Baccalaureate Organization.
