What have Foothill's IB Diploma Graduates had to say?
"Being a student in the IB program not only prepared me academically for college, but it helped me find a community at Foothill who are extremely passionate, driven and FUN! While I was challenged at times, my classes and support from my teachers ultimately allowed me to expand my thinking and see things from new perspectives. I truly enjoyed being a member of the IB Class of 2023 and it was truly and integral part of my high school experience!" - Caydence Bach, Class of 2023, currently attending the University of Michigan
"The IB program at Foothill HS made me a better learner and thinker overall. I learned how to think critically, acknowledge and understand bias, as well as how to form my own arguments. I truly believe that even after graduation, these skills have and will continue to transcend into my higher education and career. I also benefitted from the rigor of the program. I felt more prepared and confident in University than I otherwise would have if I hadn't been in IB. As for Foothill's program in particular, my success in IB wouldn't have been possible without the caring and hard working teachers involved." - Yasmine Othman, Class of 2021, currently attending the University of Victoria, British Columbia
"I would say that my IB experience was one of the main reasons I felt as prepared and confident as I did during my first year of college. Though I’m thankful for my two years of my IB for many reasons, what sticks out the most is the way the program at Foothill taught me to write. Work in every subject - from Literature to Biology helped me learn how to build an argument and communicate my thoughts clearly and concisely. These skills have proven invaluable in college classes and in some ways, have set me apart from students who did not have access to such a strong program in high school. " - Ian French, Class of 2018, currently attending Yale University, Singapore
