Baccalaureate (IB) program. Now, with the full backing of the School Board and administration, IB application and initial teacher training are in progress.
International Baccalaureate sets high expectations for students, requiring them to meet well-regarded worldwide standards. As well, IB is cited on the Virginia School Report Card as an indicator of a challenging high school curriculum.

• Theory of Knowledge: a class introducing the nature of interdisciplinary study
• Extended Essay: a 4000
