International Baccalaureate

Benjamin E. Mays High School is recognized as an IB World School authorized for CP and MYP; however it is also recognized as a candidate school* for the DP. This school is pursuing DP authorization as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy- a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education- that we believe is important for our students.

*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
