617.0. "IB school program in Mass?" by CRAIGA::SCHOMP (Save the clock tower! - Back to the future...) Tue Nov 02 1993 16:28

Hi,

Not sure where to ask, decided to try here...

My sister attends high school in Florida. They have a program there called
"IB" (International Baccalaureate) and it is an advanced study program. The
advantage of doing it is automatic credits towards college and the fact
that it does help getting into some colleges. For instance, I know that
Harvard has connections with the IB program.

My sister is considering moving up here to MA. My question is: Does anyone
know of high schools here that have the IB program so she could continue
with it? If you don't know, where could I find out?

Thanks,
Craig.

	Holliston High School has an IB program. You should be able to get a list of public schools that offer the IB from the Dept. Of Education in Malden.

	I'll check further on this for you. I remember it being in the initial budget proposal for this year. I have to go back thorugh my notes and find out what happened. Another place you might check with is the Alliance for Education in Worcester.
