The IB World School at Plano East is a challenging, pre-university course of study that encourages students to be knowledgeable and inquiring – but also caring and compassionate. Through the International Baccalaureate program, students are encouraged to develop intercultural understanding, open-mindedness and attitudes necessary to enable students to respect and evaluate multiple points of view. This demanding program requires concurrent study of a comprehensive range of academic areas which effectively prepares students for university entrance in the United States or abroad.

The locally established International Honor program prepares 9th and 10th grade students for the expectations of the 11th and 12th grade IB Diploma Program. In the 11th and 12th grade, students enroll in courses in six academic areas, participate in creative/active/service learning, write an extended essay in a subject of their choosing and experience the Theory of Learning course in which they examine the “ways of knowing.”

The IB Diploma Program aspires to develop students who have the ability to navigate, engage and meaningfully contribute to local, national and international communities while also providing students the opportunity to earn college credit for their studies.
