West Hall High School - An IB World School
West Hall High School is proud to offer the IB Diploma Programme, an international course of study for high-achieving 11th and 12th graders. IB Diploma students earn an International Baccalaureate Diploma that is recognized worldwide as the benchmark of high achievement in a high school curriculum. The emphasis on internationalism helps develop students into young adults with a deeper understanding of our global society.
After a 2-year application process, West Hall High School became authorized to offer IB classes to juniors in the fall of 2008. The IB Curriculum is a complete program of academics and service that helps students to become lifelong learners, risk-takers, and caring individuals who are often admitted into the best universities in America and even in the world. These students may even enter college with up to a year of college credit. It is certainly an exciting and visionary time for our school!
