International Baccalaureate Program @ Douglas County High School

"My IB experience has helped me significantly as it teaches you how to organize your time and really how to learn and think for yourself." - Gage Parrott, US 2nd Lt., Air Force, DCHS IB grad 2009 ****** "I know that my success in the college admissions process was largely due to the amazing education that the IB program gave me." - Angela Londono, Yale University graduate 2012, (also accepted at Stanford & Columbia) DCHS IB grad 2008 ****** "With my IB diploma, I brought to college almost a year of credit. I was able to take a couple of summer courses and finish two degrees in three years." - Sarah Johnson, Univ. of Denver graduate, 2009, DCHS IB grad 2006 ****** "I encounter other students, on a daily basis, who have never been pushed to think as deeply/intensely as IB pushed me to think." - Maggie Kakenmaster, Senior at Univ. of Notre Dame, DCHS IB grad 2009 ****** "The credit is nice to have but the value of IB is not in the future credit, but the quality and abundance of information learned." - Grant DeShazer, Freshman, Colorado School of Mines, DCHS IB grad 2012 ****** "Mom, you just don't know how great it is to walk into a class and have EVERYONE prepared for the day!" - Chapman Family (Current DCHS IB Senior) ****** "If you had told me two years ago that I would come to consider my IB experience and diploma to be one of the things which defines me, I’d have told you that you’re crazy. But it’s true. " - Dani Chelin, Senior, CU - Denver, DCHS IB grad 2009 ****** "Although being one of the most dreaded elements of IB, CAS gives IB students the great opportunity to aid their community and do their part in helping the world." - Mitch Whitus, DCHS IB grad 2010 ******
