Apply Now for International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme

Students interested in becoming a candidate for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at Central Academy are encouraged to submit an application as soon as possible for the 2010-2011 school year.

Successful IB candidates are students who are self-motivated, enjoy intellectual and academic challenges, possess good time-management skills, and have taken rigorous preparatory coursework across all content areas. Successful completion of geometry is a requirement. IB candidates also must make a commitment to learning outside of the school day and school year.

Students interested in IB need to complete an application and be interviewed before the end of their sophomore year. IB students complete their coursework at Central Academy while retaining their home school affiliation for elective and extra-curricular participation.
