An IB World School<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>West Hall High School is proud to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, an international course of study for high-achieving 11th and 12th graders. IB Diploma students earn an International Baccalaureate Diploma that is recognized worldwide as the benchmark of high achievement in a high school curriculum. The emphasis on internationalism helps develop students into young adults with a deeper understanding of our global society.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After a 2-year application process, West Hall High School became authorized to offer IB classes to juniors in the fall of 2008. The IB Curriculum is a complete program of academics and service that helps students to become lifelong learners, risk-takers, and caring individuals who are often admitted into the best universities in America and even in the world. These students may even enter college with up to a year of college credit. It is certainly an exciting and visionary time for our school!<\/p>\n<p>For further information about the IBO and its programs, visit this site or contact IB Coordinator, Danielle Deraney at danielle.deraney@hallco.org or 770-967-9826.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whhs.hallco.org\/web\/international-baccalaureate\/copy-of-ib-promo-flyer-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5421\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5421 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/whhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-IB-Promo-Flyer-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"945\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-IB-Promo-Flyer-3.png 1920w, https:\/\/whhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-IB-Promo-Flyer-3-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/whhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-IB-Promo-Flyer-3-1030x553.png 1030w, https:\/\/whhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-IB-Promo-Flyer-3-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/whhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-IB-Promo-Flyer-3-1536x824.png 1536w, https:\/\/whhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-IB-Promo-Flyer-3-1500x805.png 1500w, https:\/\/whhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Copy-of-IB-Promo-Flyer-3-705x378.png 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span class=\"capsule\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">What does the WHHS International Baccalaureate Programme offer?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rigorous, comprehensive, and cross-curricular education based on a global perspective<\/li>\n<li>Student involvement in community service and compassion for others<\/li>\n<li>High expectations of students and development of full academic potential in all subject areas<\/li>\n<li>Independent research essay that serves to enable students to write college-level papers<\/li>\n<li>Focus on internationalism and in understanding other cultures as well as one\u2019s own<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span class=\"capsule\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Who can become an IB student?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Students who are interested in the IB Programme will apply in the fall of their 10th grade year. The Application includes teacher recommendations, a short essay, and a transcript of 9th and 10th grades. In the spring of their sophomore year, a final interview and review of their transcripts and goals will complete the application process. Students will formally begin the IB Programme in the fall of their junior year.<\/p>\n<p>Rising 11th grade students living outside of the Hall County School District are also eligible to apply to participate in the Hall County International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. A tuition fee will apply. Please contact Danielle Deraney for more information.<\/p>\n<p>Taking Honors and AP classes helps students prepare for the IB curriculum, but there are no required Honors\/AP classes or required GPA. What is most important is a student\u2019s desire to move to a more rigorous and interdisciplinary course of study. Successful students are motivated and demonstrate a true commitment to and excitement about thinking and learning.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">IB Learner Profil<\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">e<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world.
