Welcome to the International Baccalaureate Programmes at Springbrook HS!
A whole school vision since 1998 (DP) and 2009 (MYP).
Springbrook is proud to offer a continuum of IB Programmes from 9th through 12th grade. In 9th and 10th grade, all SVHS students experience an IB education through the Middle Years Programme (MYP), which is infused into all of their core courses. In 11th and 12th grade, students can choose to take individual IB Diploma courses, or can participate in the full IB Diploma Program (IB DP).
