Apply to the IB Diploma Program

  • [The application is at the bottom of this page.]

     

    Prior to applying to the IB Diploma Programme at Farmington High School, families are encouraged to attend one IB Diploma Programme Informational Session in the FHS Media Center. Contact kevin.miesner@fpsk12.net for more information.

    • Dates TBD - January and February 2024

    Here is a recording of the remote IB Information Presentation from Wednesday, 2/15/23 for those who didn't or can't attend a session. This is the link to the slide show with active links used in the presentation.

    Important information to consider before you apply: 

    • Intradistrict School of Choice students do not need to submit an additional application for school of choice as it will be granted with acceptance to the IB programme. Transportation is not provided for school of choice students and all classes are at FHS. All students must be able to get to and from Farmington High School without the aid of the district.
    • Current FHS 9th or 10th grade students should contact Mr. Miesner and/or their counselor prior to applying to the IB Diploma Programme to ensure they have the prerequisites to enter the full program. 

    When is the deadline to complete the IB Diploma Programme application for the 2023-24 school year? TBD - Applications can be submitted at any time, but to insure proper scheduling for next year, we ask that you have it completed by TBD.
