Our parent night will be held the first week of December. If you have questions before then, contact Stuart Jones, IB Specialist at 757-923-5240, or stuartjones@spsk12.net.
APPLYING TO THE PROGRAM: NINTH AND TENTH GRADERS
All students are encouraged to apply during their eighth grade year. The ninth and tenth grade years in our “pre-diploma” courses gives students the best preparation for the IB Diploma Program. However, we recognize that some students will apply during their ninth or tenth grade years (for example, students that are new to the district). Therefore we have established an application process for ninth and tenth graders.
Ninth and tenth graders wanting to apply to the IB program should contact Stuart Jones, IB Specialist at 757-923-5240 or stuartjones@spsk12.net. Applications are accepted throughout the year; however, ninth and tenth graders can only be accepted if space becomes available in their graduation cohort.
Ninth and tenth grade applicants must:
- have a minimum GPA of 3.0 (calculated from all high school credit-bearing courses)
- have a “B” or higher in their English, math, and foreign language courses
Ninth grade applicants must:
- be in Geometry (or higher)
- be in the first year (or higher) of a foreign language)
Tenth grade applicants must:
- be in Algebra II (or higher)
- be in the second year (or higher) of a foreign language
