We are so excited that you want to learn more about the IB Programmes at Meade High School!  Below you will find the overall program of study for students in both the Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma (DP) Programmes. 

Students in the MYP (grades 9 & 10) at Meade enroll in honors and AP courses. Students in honors classes are taught the AACPS curriculum using IB pedagogy.  AP courses follow the Advanced Placement curriculum from the College Board.
