International Baccalaureate Program (IB)
|
| Foothill's International Baccalaureate Program is for students who want a challenging experience in an
environment where other students share the same goals. Foothill's IB Program emphasizes the importance of the learning
process. Its goal is to challenge students academically, and to help students learn how to learn, how to analyze, and
how to draw considered conclusions about society and the world we live in. Foothill's IB Program is the Honors curriculum.
During their Junior and Senior years, Foothill Honor students enroll in IB courses, which include math, English, physics,
biology, history, and foreign language. In May of each year, the students in these courses are encouraged to undergo rigorous
exams in each subject. Students participating in some of the IB exams work towards the IB Certificate; students who choose to
undergo examinations in all six subject areas may choose to complete the full IB Diploma, an academic passport of sorts,
recognized around the world as a symbol of academic achievement and intellectual promise. |
