International Baccalaureate (IB) High School Diploma Programme

This program provides a comprehensive education to prepare students for top university study. The IB High School Diploma Programme has an interdisciplinary, global curriculum which begins in the junior year. Oral and written examinations are internationally developed and assessed. Quarry Lane is currently the only private high school in the East Bay Area to offer this prestigious diploma, which is considered the gold standard for university admission. Students interested in participating in the IB Diploma Programme must meet specified prerequisites and apply for IB during the spring of their sophomore year. Once accepted, a student must maintain a high level of academic achievement. Progress will be continuously evaluated by the IB Coordinator, the teachers, and the student. 

The IB Team examines the records of each student applying for the IB Programme in the spring of sophomore year. The following factors are considered:

1) Academic Performance

2) Academic Readiness

3) Teacher Recommendations

4) Parental Consent and Support

5) Interview with the IB Team
