2022 SHS IB Information Meeting

International Baccalaureate Information

The International Baccalaureate (IB) is an internationally recognized, highly acclaimed, college preparatory program. It teaches students to be knowledgeable, well-rounded, caring, critical thinkers, balanced, and reflective. Whether a student decides to stay in-state or attend an out-of-state college, the IB program will nurture the skills necessary to be successful at a four-year college.

If you are a hard-working, self-motivated student interested in a well-rounded, rigorous college preparation education, the IB program may be a good match for you. Students can expect to work hard and have challenging academic schedules throughout high school, yet most students are highly involved in outside extra-curricular activities and still have plenty of time for an active, meaningful social life. Most IB graduates say the best thing about the IB program was the friends they made in the program.

Colleges value Skyline IB students because they demonstrate qualities of critical thinking, problem solving, and reflection and are very prepared to handle the course rigor at top universities around the country and world. Skyline IB Diploma students have been admitted to a variety of in-state and out-of-state schools such as Stanford, Harvard, Yale, MIT, Johns Hopkins, Brown, Washington University in St. Louis, University of Puget Sound, BYU, University of Utah, University California Berkeley, etc. Furthermore, nearly all IB Diploma students who have applied to the University of Utah have received substantial merit-based scholarships. The University of Utah award students who have earned an IB Diploma university credits for qualifying IB classes in addition to qualifying AP credits which they may have earned throughout high school.
