International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme
see also: IB Curriculum
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a rigorous course of study that meets the needs of highly motivated secondary school students. Marshall's IB program generates more IB Diploma recipients than any other school in Fairfax County.
Designed as a comprehensive curriculum that allows its graduates to fulfill requirements of various national systems of education, the IB is based on the pattern of no single country. It provides students of different linguistic, cultural, and educational backgrounds with the intellectual, social, and critical perspectives necessary for the adult world that lies ahead of them. IB's academic training provides students with the values and opportunities that will enable them to succeed in the competitive, modern world.
Please contact either IB Coordinator if you have any questions about the curriculum.
