Eligible Students
Current eighth-graders may apply in September as part of the Magnet & IB Program application. It depends on the child’s home high school:
If Colts Neck High School, Freehold Borough High School, Manalapan High School, or Marlboro High School is the child’s home school, they can apply to either or both IB programs.
If Freehold Township High School is the child’s home school, they can only apply to IB at FTHS, and are not eligible for IB at Howell. They may apply to any other Magnet Program.
If Howell High School is the child’s home school, they can only apply to IB at Howell and are not eligible for IB at FTHS. They may apply to any other Magnet Program.
Students enrolled in one of the FRHSD Magnet Programs CANNOT transfer into the IB Diploma Programme. This is in alignment with district policy as outlined in the Magnet Program Letter of Intent.
Requirements for Participation
Requirements for Participation
Although the program is a rigorous one, demanding commitment and perseverance, there is no entrance exam or application.
As the International Baccalaureate Organization explains, "prior academic success is less an indicator of ability to earn the diploma than are a student’s determination to do his or her best, willingness to be organized in order to complete the work while leading a full, balanced life, and a strong commitment to learning in and beyond the classroom."
We seek students who strive for the qualities in the IB Learner Profile. These are the most important indicators for success in the program. Note that students must complete Algebra 2 prior to the start of the junior year in order to take IB math courses.
To acknowledge the rigor of the program, students and their parents/guardians sign a Candidate Agreement Form when registering for their junior classes, which is available in Genesis for IB students. This consent form ensures all stakeholders understand the nature of the commitment prior to beginning the two-year program.
