IB

John Adams High School is excited to offer our students the opportunity to participate in a worldwide program of study. Students who enroll in the JAHS IB Program will be joining students throughout the world in an engaging and challenging course of study.
​
The International Baccalaureate is a rigorous program of study for highly motivated students. The goal of the IBDP is to develop well rounded students with character who respond to challenges with optimism and an open mind. Students participating in this program are prepared to apply what they have learned in real world, complex, and unpredictable situations.

The IB's Diploma Programme is different from other curricula because it:

• encourage students of all ages to think critically and challenge assumptions
• develop independently of government and national systems, incorporating quality practice from research and our global community of schools
• encourage students of all ages to consider both local and global contexts
• develop multilingual students.

Students develop approaches to learning skills and the attributes of the IB learner profile. The IB learner is positively challenged to think critically and to learn in a flexible environment crossing disciplinary, cultural and national boundaries.

IB students take responsibility for their own learning and understand how knowledge itself is constructed, underpinned by our unique theory of knowledge (TOK) course.

Our programmes help IB students:

• ask challenging questions
• think critically
• learn across disciplines
• develop research skills proven to help them in higher education.
• IB programmes also encourage students to be active in their communities and to take their learning beyond academic study.
