The Freehold Regional High School District has announced that Howell High School received its final authorization to become an IB World School.
Howell joins fellow district school Freehold Township High School as one of 17 schools in New Jersey to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. The Class of 2021 will be the first cohort of IB students at Howell High School, according to a press release from the district.
The IB Diploma Programme is a two-year course of study in the junior and senior years. It provides students with an academically challenging and interdisciplinary course of studies, and also prepares students for a rapidly evolving, increasingly global society, according to the press release.
In addition to courses from six core subject groups, IB diploma students also engage in the Diploma Programme core, which prompts students to “reflect on the nature of knowledge, complete independent research and undertake a project that often involves community service,” according to the press release.
