Albuquerque Public Schools will host five information meetings in November for parents and students interested in the International Baccalaureate Program scheduled to begin in the 2013-14 school year.

Sandia High is currently a candidate school for the renowned IB Diploma Program known around the world as a rigorous academic program with a track record of student success. Though the program will be housed at Sandia, all qualified students from around Albuquerque are invited and encouraged to participate in it. The program will be available to students in the Class of 2015. They will enter the two-year program as juniors.

IB, a non-profit educational foundation, was founded in Switzerland to create a standardized, internationally recognized diploma for the children of globetrotting diplomats and business executives. IB currently works with more than 3,000 schools in 139 countries and is expanding quickly. Its Diploma Program is in public high schools in 48 states. New Mexico is one of only two states that currently has no program in a public high school. APS hopes to be the first public school district in the state to offer the program.

The five information meetings will be held throughout the district during November to provide more information to interested parents and students. All meetings will be from 6:30-7:30 p.m. in the school libraries:

  • Thursday, Nov. 1, Sandia High School (map)
  • Monday, Nov. 5, Roosevelt Middle School (map)
  • Tuesday, Nov. 13, Cibola High School (map)
  • Thursday, Nov. 15, Rio Grande High School
  • Monday, Nov. 26, Eldorado High School (map)
