Lower Merion Schools Announce International Baccalaureate Program

The Lower Merion School District has just announced a unique new program open to all high school sophomores.

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program is open to application to all high school sophomores.

It is designed for “highly successful and motivated” students.

The school district offered the following description of the program:

The International Baccalaureate Program is a comprehensive and rigorous two-year curriculum for high school students beginning in the junior year. Based on the educational pattern of no single country, it is the deliberate compromise between the specialization required in some national systems and the breadth preferred in others. The general objectives of the International Baccalaureate are to provide students with a balanced education, to facilitate geographic and cultural mobility, and to promote international understanding through a shared academic experience.
