International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme at Winter Park

Excellence with a Global Edge

Winter Park High School has been home to one of the longest-running International Baccalaureate (IB) Programmes in Florida. Known worldwide for academic rigor and a global perspective, IB challenges Wildcats to think critically, act with integrity, and lead with purpose.

At Winter Park, IB isn’t just a curriculum – it’s a community, a culture, and a pathway to opportunities that reach across the globe.

What is IB?

The IB Diploma Programme is a two-year academic program for juniors and seniors that emphasizes inquiry, balance, and international-mindedness.

At Winter Park, IB students:

• Take advanced courses across six subject areas (English, World Languages, Social Studies, Science, Math, and the Arts).
• Complete the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) course, exploring how we know what we know.
• Conduct original research through the Extended Essay.
• Engage in creativity, activity, and service (CAS) projects that connect learning to the real world.
