Have you considered applying to Marietta High School's International Baccalaureate Diploma Program but missed our  IB orientation meeting for rising 9th graders?  Would you like to know more about how the MCS Magnet Program, the IB Middle Years Program, the pre-Diploma Program, the IB Diploma Program, and the exciting new IB Career-related Certificate work together?

Here's a link to the orientation presentation.  Please contact us if you have further questions.

The International Baccalaureate Organization is hosting 4 IB World Student Conferences across the world during the summer of 2013 at Wake Forest University, University of British Columbia, University of Warwick (England), and University of Hong Kong.  The conference is open to rising juniors and seniors (current 10th and 11th graders) seeking the IB Diploma or the IB Career-related Certificate. 

MHS IB seniors Cater Corley and Shivani Patel (far right in the photo)l claim the conference they attended last July in British Columbia was exciting, inspiring, and life changing.  The 6-day conference is reasonably priced at $950 which includes all expenses (lodging, meals, workshops, sight-seeing, conference souvenirs) except airfare.

One of the many memorable moments for our 9th graders during their trip to our nation's capital was a request from a young Japanese man, whose home had been destroyed in the earthquake/tsunami, to take part in a "Gambare" (good luck) video he was creating for his countrymen.  He caught us on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial where we had gathered to share student "I Have a Dream" speeches.  View the video.
