he new year of 1987 open- ed with many surprizes, bur none hod rhe effect OS did the news of acceptance into the prestigious In- ternarionol Boccoloureore program. In Jonuory, we received a let- ter of recongnition from the I.D. head- quarters in Geneva, Switzerland inform- ing us that we hove been formally in- troduced into the new ranks of the IB. schools. Being one of only 16 in the en- tire state of California, we hove become a special type of academic school that involves a curriculum which is chollenging to the students involved. To better understand how important this new program was to Cojon ' s academic success, o better knowledge of the IB. program ond how it worked would be required. The International Boccolaureote system was introduced in the early 1960 ' s when educators and other people decided that a uniform method of teaching and the materials taught needed to be established for the world to accept. When first proposed, the people concerned were optomistic that schools and learning institutions around the world would adopt this new form of learning, which involved more subjects about the world. The idea prov- ed to be o success in the education world. Specially selected high schools started to teach the ID. material and colleges oround the world started ac- cepting students that hod passed the In- ternational Doccolureote tests. The I.D. progrom hod now evolved into a wide verity of academic categories. The select few who chose to take rhe rigorous tests to graduate as an IB. person were expected to do ex- tended preperorion in all subject areas. Universol subjects such as literature and history about the world and more scien- tific experimentotion were port of the criteria. The six subjects of testing con- sisted of studies in a second longuoge such as French, Spanish or German and the longuoge of their native country. An Qcodemic honor has come to Cojon, One that will hove everlasting effects. International Excellence history, experimental sciences, mothemotics and one choice of another science or moth. Fortunately, the pro- gram allowed for certain tests to be less difficult for the person toking them. Out of the six cotergories, three of them were considered to be more difficult then the other three. For example, the person taking the tests chose three ma- jor subjects which were more difficult and three minor subjects which were less difficult. According to rhe Progrom Director, Solly Hartley, ' Internotionol Boc- colureote is on excellent program thot will finally give Cojon High School o positive Qcoedmic image. The foculty os well as the students will benefit from this program. According to specific doto from other participating high schools, students involved with the IB. program strived to higher levels of academic excellences. Although rhe Internotionol Doc- colureore program did not really start to begin during the 1986-87 school year, teachers and students began preporing curriculum for the rigorous resting that could be expected in the following years. Dr. Dovitt was optimistic about our potential to become one of the bet- ter International Boccalureate schools. (Above) Cojon. High School ' s (acuity members, (Left to Right) Cloncy Newmon.
