Schools must go through rigorous training to become authorized as International Baccalaureate Programme Schools. Several schools in District 3 are IB candidate schools.
High school students who graduate with an IB diploma and successfully pass IB higher level (HL) exams with qualifying scores may receive college credits - similar to Advanced Placement (AP) exam credits.
