Kent-Meridian is the only Kent high school that provides the International Baccalaureate program. The IB program is recognized worldwide for providing 11th and 12 grade students with a challenging, college prep curriculum. The IB program is known for its rigor, authentic assessment design and international focus. Public and private schools around the world have adopted the IB curriculum and graduates from IB programs are highly valued by colleges and universities.
KM students who choose to become IB Diploma Candidates must successfully complete work and assessments in six academic areas during their junior/senior years. Additionally, students must write an extended essay, fulfill various service requirements and complete the Theory of Knowledge course. Students taking these courses can take the IB final exam and receive the IB certification, increasing their chance of admission to most colleges.
