International Baccalaureate

International Baccalaureate (IB) schools aim to go beyond traditional curriculum by developing inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people motivated to succeed. IB offers a continuum of programs from elementary through high school. The programs encourage both personal and academic achievement, challenging students in their studies and personal development.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Students wishing to attend a school offering the IB Programme must follow the Change of Schools Assignment (COSA) process first to ensure they may attend the selected school. Transfer approvals do not guarantee admission into the IB Diploma Programme (Grades 11-12); there is a separate application process occurring after the acceptance into the school.

To apply to a school offering an IB Programme, visit the Change of School Assignment webpage at www.fultonschools.org/COSA.
