IB World School LogoThe International Baccalaureate (IB) Programmes at Gar-Field High School and Unity Reed High School offer students rigorous academic programs focused on international-mindedness and global connections.

IB DP Program Model While various levels of student participation are available, the IB Diploma Programme (DP) centers around the full IB Diploma, where students complete internal and external exams in six subject areas; complete a portfolio of creativity, activity, and service; write a 4,000-word extended essay; and complete a seminar course entitled Theory of Knowledge.

IB CP Program Model

In addition to the IB DP, both schools offer the IB Career-Related Programme (CP). The IB CP centers around a certificate where students complete internal and external exams in two IB DP classes, complete a service learning portfolio, complete 50 hours of language development, write a Reflective Project, complete an approved career-related sequence of courses, and complete a seminar course entitled Personal and Professional Skills.

Freshmen and sophomores participate in the IB Middle Years Programme, a framework for instruction in all academic areas that provides opportunities for Advanced courses in preparation for the IB Diploma and Career-Related Programmes. Participation in the programs ranges from students earning individual certificates in subjects of strength and interest to the full IB Diploma or the Career-Related certificate. Juniors and seniors enroll in IB DP courses that are externally moderated and assessed by the IBO.
