The Diploma Programme is a rigorous pre-university course of study designed for students in the 16 to 18 year old age range. It is a broad-based two-year course that aims to encourage students to be knowledgeable and inquiring, but also caring and compassionate. There is a strong emphasis on encouraging students to develop intercultural understanding, open-mindedness, and the attitudes necessary for them to respect and evaluate a range of points of view.
Mission Viejo High School was the first high school in Orange County that was granted full affiliation with the prestigious International Baccalaureate Program in the fall of 1984. I.B. is a comprehensive program for academically talented and highly motivated students sponsored and administered by the International Baccalaureate Organization. The International Baccalaureate Diploma is awarded to students who meet the following requirements: specific course work in six academic disciplines, with students completing classes and writing external examinations in all six areas: English, Foreign Language, Study of Humanity, Experimental Sciences, Mathematics, and one additional selection. The International Baccalaureate Program has been validated by the Ministries of Education in more than 40 countries throughout the world. The International Baccalaureate Diploma and individual certificates are recognized for admission and advanced standing in the United States and throughout the world. Mission Viejo High School students received 49 full diplomas in 2008-09. Tom Krucli: IB Program Coordinator
