IB World Schools around the globe grow the Diploma Programme in their own unique ways. Take a look at their strategies and discover how the DP has benefited their students, faculty and community in general.
Millbrook High School, Raleigh, North Carolina, US
From the beginning, Millbrook High School has raised no barriers to enrolling in its Diploma Programme. Coordinator Loren Baron credits that approach with helping spur the programme’s growth.
Robinson Secondary School, Fairfax, Virginia, US
Eighty-five percent of the students at Robinson Secondary School take at least one DP class. That has not always been the case. The coordinators and teachers who make that possible believe in their students and the IB philosophy—and they work hard to support both.
