Access to International Education

Schools in Schertz offer area kids an opportunity that few districts in the country do. The Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD holds a charter for a program that brings a globally recognized academic program to the tri-county school district. The International Baccalaureate, or IB, program is a two-year advanced level program for area students that allows them to earn college credit while in high school.

The International Baccalaureate program is based at Clemens High School in Schertz, Texas. Students enrolled in the IB Diploma program take exams in six separate subject areas. In their junior and senior years they write an extended essay that helps them communicate more complex ideas. They also take a class that helps them to learn how to think and to apply what they learn in the classroom, the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) course.
