The HHS IB program offers students a superlative education with a proven history of high-performance results. Because we are an IB World School, we are bound to the quality control processes of planning, instruction, assessment and reflection, and periodic review that are the basis of educational best practices. Our students are accepted to the top colleges in the state and the country and continue on into careers that are making a difference.

If you are a current student in HCPS, applications will be available October 2nd, 2023. Make sure you contact your school counselor for more information and for school internal deadlines. Parents must first go to the Parent Portal and give authorization for their students to apply to specialty centers. The Parent Portal authorization forms will be available on September 25th, 2023, The final deadline for online submission is November 20th,11:59 PM. 

If you are a private school student or are coming to us from out of district/state, please use the paper application that will be available on the HCPS site (link coming soon). You can find more information about HCPS specialty centers here:HCPS Specialty Center Information. Private school or out-of-district students must also take the standardized and writing tests HCPS students have taken in school. To sign up for these tests, please go to the above site. 

International Baccalaureate Online Application NOTE: If you are a Henrico County Public School eighth grader interested in applying to the IB Programs at Henrico and/or Tucker High Schools, please note that you must apply to either or to both sites, depending on your preference. Each application will be evaluated independently by each school, and the applicant will receive a separate status response from each of them.  Should the student be accepted by both schools, the student will have the opportunity to select his/her preference.  If a student is accepted to one IB site but not the other, the status is not transferrable.

Students who are not accepted at any school may stay on two wait lists.

Accepted students will receive an email from HHS with the acceptance packet of information attached: acceptance commitment form, course schedule request form, and transportation information sheet.
