"US universities evaluate academic grades in the context of a student’s high school curriculum and its degree of rigor. The two-year IB Diploma Program is widely regarded as an academically demanding syllabus, and one that provides excellent preparation for college level coursework. ... One thing is for sure; by taking the IB Diploma, you automatically rise to the top of the admissions pool. US colleges love good grades, but what they love even more is to see that you’ve pushed yourself to get them. Universities appreciate the IB’s rigor and they know it takes hard work and dedication to perform well, particularly in Higher Level (HL) subjects."

Lex1 IB Travel Programs
Travel Programs are currently suspended due to COVID-19. We hope to restart this program during the 2023-2024 school year.
Each year, the IB Program will attempt to schedule an opportunity to travel and learn about the different geographic regions and cultures of the United States.
Most recently in 2019-2020, the Lexington1 IB Diploma Program partnered with EF Tours to design a custom-built 4-day, 3-night educational experience for students (March, 2020 - unfortunately cancelled due to COVID-19): Washington, D.C: The Capital Tour. The experience was to include visits to the Marine Corps Museum, Arlington National Cemetery, and Ford's Theater (the site of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln).
