IB Diploma Programme (Scholars)
Welcome!
Inderkum High School has been fully authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme as of February 27, 2014. We received authorization for the Middle Years Programme (grades 6-10), in conjunction with Natomas Middle School, on January 22, 2016.
Scholars is an honors program to prepare students in grades 9 and 10 for the rigors, breadth and depth of the IB Diploma Programme. Students apply to be part of the program and are scheduled in accelerated classes taught by IB-trained teachers.
Applications for the Class of 2029 will open on November 15 and are due by January 31, 2025. While the official deadline has passed, the application link remains open. Late applicants will be considered on a space available basis. There is a “how to” document in the application section, and the application link is there as well. If you’re interested in applying for the Scholars Class of 2028 or taking IB Diploma Programme courses as part of the Class of 2027, please email first for information once the application is opened. Notifications of acceptance will go out in March 2025.
We do not offer tours during the school day, though we held a Tiger Tour Night on January 16. Your next opportunity to visit will be during Inderkum's Open House, the evening of March 27. Coordinators and current students will be there to answer questions. Check back here and on the Inderkum home page for information as we get closer to March.
Please note that there is a separate enrollment process for Inderkum that also needs to be completed in order for your student to be considered for Scholars/IB. Please review this chart carefully to learn the required steps to complete your student’s enrollment.
For further information, see the flyers available below. If you have questions, please feel free to email Jessica Downing.
