The International Bacchalaureate Diploma is a high school level degree program monitored by the United Nations. The awarding of the diploma requires a number of advanced classes and additional requirements. The Diploma is recognized world wide as a standard of education that is consistant globally. Those students interested in going to college in other countries should seriously look at this education track. Students that complete the required courses take IB exams, often graded by educators in other countries. Many colleges will evaluate the results of the IB exams as AP type courses and waive classes or even grant credit. There are some students that earn enough credits through the IB to 'skip' their freshman year of college. In addition to the courses (including 4 years of a language) the students are required to participate in Enrichment activities, provide hours of service in the community and write an extended essay. Studies have shown a direct correlation between a student that prepares and takes the AP and IB exams and their success rate in college. The grade success is less important then the actual preparation and taking of the exam. U.S. News and World Reports annually ranks the best high schools in the US based on this criteria.

Explain why you want to be part of the International Baccalaureate program?

There are many reasons to become a student of the International Baccalaureate program for a few reasons. Firstly, it is a very advanced program. Students who go through the International Baccalaureate program are more prepared for college. I know this because the average drop in GPA from high school to college for alumni of my International Baccalaureate school is significantly smaller that the average drop in GPA from high school to college for alumni of other schools in my area. Secondly, it is widely recognized. The IB diploma is recognized in most countries around the world. Thirdly, the foreign language program is emphasized. All students of the International Baccalaureate are required to test in a foreign language. At my school, we are required to take 4 years of a foreign language and 1 year of studying the culture of that language, as opposed to the two years required at other schools in my area. This emphasis on foreign language is fun and looks great in a resume. Finally, the IB diploma can give a student Advanced Credit for many colleges and universities.
