How is the IB Program at West Morris Mendham High School Organized and Run?
Why does West Morris Mendham High School have an IB Program? In exploring ways to enrich student experience, West Morris faculty and administration found the IB program offers a rigorous pre-university course of study that meets the needs of the highly motivated secondary school student. In 1995, during the implementation of its first Strategic Plan, the WM District sought to become an IB affiliate institution. The highly selective application process entailed an extensive rewriting of the curriculum in several key areas, the training of faculty, and a commitment to encourage students to participate as diploma candidates in one of the most rigorous and well-respected educational programs in the world. The district was accepted as an IB institution in 1997.
