Farmington Public Schools’ Farmington High School has officially been authorized as an IB World School for the Career-related Programme.
We are the second programme in Michigan, one of 158 in the US and 326 worldwide to offer this unique learning experience for students. This opportunity is well suited for students interested in combining the rigor of an IB education with a two-year course of study in our long standing, well renowned Career & Technical Education (CTE) program. In June, 2022, Farmington High School’s first IBCP candidate graduated and achieved the IB Career-related Programme Certificate!
