Students Achieve IB Success

Issued: Monday, November 16, 2009
 
Last spring, 109 George School students, including a record number of thirty-seven seniors, took a total of 334 International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations in twenty-one different subjects. These numbers include students enrolled in the IB Diploma Program, students pursuing subject-specific IB certificates, and students taking individual IB classes. George School recently expanded its IB Program as a result of the curriculum review, so that students who do not enroll in the full, two-year Diploma Program have the option of pursuing certificates or taking individual classes. Thirty-one members of the Class of 2009 received the IB Diploma after completing the rigorous two-year IB Diploma Program. The average diploma score was thirty points, which is six points above the required score for the diploma. This record shows exemplary efforts on the part of students and their teachers. The IB curriculum at George School is coordinated by English teacher Ralph Lelii, taught by George School faculty, and judged by an international panel of examiners.
