International Baccalaureate Programme

Gar-Field High School and Unity Reed High School offer rigorous academic programs authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO).

Freshmen and sophomores enroll in Pre IB Diploma Program classes taught and assessed through the IB Middle Years Program framework for instruction in all academic areas. Juniors and seniors enroll in IB Diploma Programme courses that are externally moderated and assessed by the IBO.

While various levels of student participation are available, the program is centered around the full IB Diploma where students complete internal and external exams in six subject areas; complete 150 hours of creativity, action, and service; write a 4,000 word Extended Essay; and complete a seminar course entitled Theory of Knowledge. 

Participation in the program ranges from students earning individual certificates in subjects of strength and interest to the full IB Diploma.
