Expanding Opportunities for High Academic Achievement: An International Baccalaureate Diploma Program in an Urban High School

Anysia P. Mayer

This article presents a study of an open admission International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IB) in an urban high school. This study found that a school serving primarily disadvantaged students can successfully implement a program with the same high standards as programs offered at schools serving economically advantaged students. Findings are attributed to full IB program implementation, IB teachers’ belief in the ability of the students to meet the rigor of the program, as well as a set of academic and social scaffolds designed to help students succeed in the program. The findings also demonstrate that it is possible for a wide range of students to benefit from this type of rigorous college prep program.
