ADVANCED STUDIES
Our Advanced Studies at Winter Park include our International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme and our Advanced Placement (AP) Capstone Diploma Program. Both programs offer students incredible, rigorous coursework that will prepare them for admission to competitive post-secondary institutions.
International Baccalaureate
The IB programme offers a structured, globally recognized pathway built around academic depth, critical thinking, and strong writing and research skills. IB is designed for students who are ready for a cohesive program experience with consistent expectations across courses, and it supports long-term preparation for college-level work through a rigorous, student-centered approach.

Advanced Placement Capstone
AP courses allow students to challenge themselves in specific subjects while building a personalized academic path based on interests and goals. AP offers flexibility—students can take one AP course or several—and successful performance can lead to college credit or advanced standing at many colleges and universities. AP is a strong option for students seeking rigorous coursework with choice and balance.
