District News Release for Upcoming IB Events:

The Roseville Joint Union High School District is holding a general information meeting for all parents and students interested in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme on Nov. 14, 2007 at 7pm in the Oakmont HS Theatre. The exciting oppo rtunities and challenges of this world class program will be outlined.

Recognized and admired by colleges and universities across the world, the International Baccalaureate program is committed to developing inquiring, knowledgeable and caring learners who possess a global perspective. It is arguably the most rigorous high school curriculum offered anywhere! What makes the IB curriculum unique is that it offers a continuum of intense, high-quality education over grades 11 and 12 and encourages a positive attitude to learning by requiring students to ask challenging questions, to critically reflect, to develop research skills, to learn how to learn and to participate in community service.

Worldwide the IB works with 2,122 schools in 125 countries to offer IB programs to approximately 566,000 students. Over the past ten years, the number of high school diploma students has grown about 10% each year, resulting in remarkable levels of sustained growth. The highest performing school districts in the nation have committed to offering their students opportunities for high level learning with both the Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs. Granite Bay High School and Oakmont High School are the first schools in Placer County to attempt to offer the prestigious and challenging International Baccalaureate curriculum.

The final deadline for all applications (both within and outside the attendance areas of GBHS and OHS) is February 1, 2008. Official IB information may be found at www.ibo.org.
