The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) is an internationally accredited college preparatory program with a rigorous four-year curriculum. Students take carefully chosen prerequisite honor and AP courses in their freshman and sophomore years in order to prepare them for the prescribed IB DP curriculum during their junior and senior years. Upperclassmen are prepared for IB international examinations that may earn student’s college credit. More than 1.2 million students worldwide have graduated from the Diploma Programme. International Baccalaureate DP students reflect diverse experiences and perspectives and attend IB World Schools in 147 countries, representing an even broader range of nationalities. 

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at Cedar Ridge High School strives to provide a challenging and engaging program of study for 11th and 12th grade students who are seeking a supportive, internationally-minded, and rigorous educational opportunity.   Through teaching the International Baccalaureate curriculum with highly trained instructors, our goal is to help students develop lifelong learners with interpersonal skills, compassion, and inquisitiveness.  We do so in a safe and respectful learning environment, and with the help of cooperative relationships between our community, home, and school.

Students interested in being in the International Baccalaureate Programme must attend Cedar Ridge High School.  If your base-assigned school is not Cedar Ridge, and you wish to attend to participate in IB, you must request reassignment pursuant to OCS Board Policy 4150.  Visit the Student Assignment page to learn more.  To learn more about the IB Diploma Programme at Cedar Ridge High School, visit their webpage.
