Benjamin E. Mays High School is a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme. In addition, we have partnered with Jean Childs Young Middle School for the Middle Years Programme to promote continuity for our cluster. As such, we have updated previous school policies to reflect the requirements of the International Baccalaureate Organization, Atlanta Public Schools, and Benjamin E. Mays High School. As a valued stakeholder, we would love your input on the updated policies. You may read through each policy and submit your feedback on the policy review form. Thank you for being a part of the B.E. Mays community!
Benjamin E. Mays High School is recognized as an IB World School authorized for CP; however it is also recognized as a candidate school* for the MYP. This school is pursuing MYP 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.
