International Baccalaureate Program

The Greater Hartford International Baccalaureate Magnet School is located on the campus of East Hartford High School. It offers a rigorous course of study, leading to examinations that meet the needs of highly motivated high school students. Students who pass the examinations at the end of their senior year are awarded an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. Students who choose not to take the exams or do not pass them earn a diploma from the IB Academy

The highly structured four-year program of study emphasizes history and the study of other languages and cultures. Regular community service is an integral part of the program. Seniors are expected to write a research paper of no more than 4000 words. Offerings in elective areas are limited. Students may not participate in East Hartford athletics.

The program is open to as many as five incoming freshmen.
