International Baccalaureate (IB) Information Night for Rising 11th Grade Families - Thursday, February 2nd at 7:00pm

The International Baccalaureate at Robinson is a program of studies that is highly engaging, rigorous and asks students to be at the heart of the learning. Students will learn not only how to understand complex information and skills, but also how those skills and content apply to the larger world.

The Robinson IB Coordinators for the IB Diploma Program (grades 11 and 12) will be presenting information about the program on Thursday, February 2nd, 2023, at 7PM. This meeting will be in person at Robinson Secondary School in Davala Hall.  A recording to accompany presentation materials will be emailed after the meeting.  

During the session, IB Coordinators will be sharing information about the IB courses available to 11th and 12th graders as well as the IB Diploma requirements. A number of resources about the IB program at Robinson can be found at https://robinsonss.fcps.edu/academics/high-school/ib-diploma-program.

If you have any questions about this event or the IB Diploma Program at Robinson, please contact Holly Cho (htcho@fcps.edu) or Wendy Vu (wmvu@fcps.edu).
