Telluride Mountain School offers the International Baccalaureate
Diploma Program, an academically challenging and balanced
pre-university curriculum for students in their final two years of high school.
The Diploma Program prepares students
for a successful transition to post-secondary education. Students learn to explore and
understand the world around them through inquiry, critical thinking and open-mindedness.
A challenging academic curriculum
that serves as outstanding preparation for university and higher education.
A student-centered approach to teaching
that is focused on developing students intellectually, emotionally, physically and socially,
as opposed to preparation for test-taking only.
A focus on international-mindedness,
compassion, and understanding intercultural differences.
Respected, reliable and world-renowned academic preparation.
Universities regularly cite DP students as the best prepared for higher education.
DP graduates excel in post-secondary education
and often begin their studies with advanced standing.
Many universities award academic credit and scholarship awards
for successful examination results in specific areas, or after the completion of the IB Diploma Program.
Theory of knowledge (TOK) challenges students to reflect on the nature of knowledge and how we know what we claim to know.
Extended essay introduces students to the demands and rewards of independent work prior to entering university, requiring them to produce a self-directed piece of research in an area of personal interest.
Creativity, activity and service (CAS) is an experiential learning component where students engage with a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including community service and athletic options.
