Oakland High School is extremely proud to be an International Baccalaureate Program school since 2008.  There are only ten schools in the State of Tennessee that have been certified to offer the International Baccaaureate Program!  Oakland High School is very proud of their success in bringing this program to Rutherford County high school students. 

The IB Program is a two year rigorous academic program that allows students to graduate with the International Baccalaureate Diploma.  The IB Program is an academically challenging program that provides a balanced educational experience, facilitates cultural mobility, and promotes international understanding.  It prepares students for a successful university life and a successful future.  This prestigious program has gained the respect and recognition from the world’s most elite universities.   Students who graduate with the IB Diploma have a greater chance of college acceptance than those students who apply with a general diploma.  In addition, they may receive college credits and scholarships at major universities.  

Oakland High School students in the IB Program study six courses at a higher level.   Students are required to complete an extended essay which some describe as a mini doctorate at the student’s level.  The program encourages the students to be creative and use critical thinking in applying their theory of knowledge.  

Students in the program must complete a written examination at the end of the program.  Those who gain at least 24 points will be awarded the International Baccalaureate Diploma.  For more information on the International Baccalaureate Program please visit their website and watch the video below:
