Florida's Pre-IB provides students with a strong foundation for success in the upper-level Diploma Program and aims to develop active learners and internationally minded young people who can empathize with others and pursue lives of purpose and meaning.

In these classes, students will:

The DP is an assessed program for students in grades 11 and 12. It is respected by leading universities across the globe.

DP students have an advantage over non-DP students when it comes to college admissions. College admissions officers report that DP students are:
