The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program is now accepting applications for the 2010 – 2011 school year

The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) offers high quality programs of international education to a worldwide community of schools. The IBO, founded in 1968, is a recognized leader in the field of international education. It is a non-profit, mission-driven foundation that works with 2,715 schools (August 2009) to develop and offer three challenging programs to more than 745,000 students in 138 countries.

Horry County has two Schools that participate in the IB Program:

Socastee High School became an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma School in January of 1997. The IB Diploma Program is a challenging two-year curriculum, designed for students who are completing their last two years of high school. It leads to a qualification that is widely recognized by the world’s leading universities.

Aynor High School became an IB Diploma School in July of 2001. The IB Diploma Program is a challenging two-year curriculum for students in grades 11-12.

My high school was ranked in "America's Top Public Schools" in a Newsweek annual study. The study covers the top 6% of U.S. High Schools. Our local paper says Socastee High School is ranked 1,096 out of the 1,500 which made the list. Not too shabby to be named in the top 5% of the high schools. Here is the Newsweek article.

As a certified teacher, I love to hear positive news about our area's schools. Although we can always use more funding and more teachers who love their profession, South Carolina often gets bad publicity on our schools. I had a wonderful high school experience and feel fortunate to have graduated from Socastee High School. It's not the prettiest school but it got the job done.
