The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme is a challenging two-year curriculum, primarily aimed at students aged 16 to 19. It leads to a qualification that is widely recognized by the world’s leading universities.

According to the International Baccalaureate Web site (www.ibo.org), students in the IB Diploma Programme learn more than a collection of facts. The programme prepares students for university and encourages them to:
• ask challenging questions
• learn how to learn
• develop a strong sense of their own identity and culture
• develop the ability to communicate with and understand people from other countries and cultures

Stony Point joins Westwood High School as the only two high schools in RRISD to offer the program. Other schools who have earned an IB World School designation include Anderson Mill Elementary, Grisham Middle School, and Spicewood Elementary.
