Sustain IB Program and Course Offerings

The IB program provides a high rigor level of instruction for college-prep students.  The effectiveness of the program is evaluated through the student's performance on Internal Assessments, paper projects, End-of-Course Exam results, and college acceptance rates for IB diploma grads.

In 2008-2009, SVHS performed and comprehensive Five-Year Review of the IB program as mandated by the IBO.  A major focus of the self-study was to rate ourselves against a formal set of standards and to identify our strengths and areas for growth.  These areas for growth have then become our IB goals for the next five years.  The goals were created with initial action plans to be expanded upon over the coming year.

Sustain and Increase R.O.P. offerings

Culinary Arts, Careers in Marketing II, Digital Photography; SVHS has sustained the addition of one new course each year for four straight years through the support R.O.P.
