Diploma Program
 
  

If you  seek an academically challenging, well-rounded program offering excellent preparation for college, robust college acceptance rates, potential college credit, and the chance to strive for an internationally-recognized IB Diploma, submit an online application at the link below.

While most students apply to the IB Program in the 8th grade and begin participation in 9th,  freshmen and sophomores are also welcome to apply.   Students from outside SCUCISD may be eligible to participate as well as long as they don't currently reside in a district that offers the full Diploma Program. Contact the IB Coordinator for more information or with questions - LRollins@scuc.txed.net
