I don't know how many of you have seen this article in today's paper.
I know that it is about Buckhead schools, but I wanted to point out that the program that is helping those schools become so popular and so FULL that they are having to build a new high school is the International Baccalaureate
Program. In that cluster of schools, they are offering K-12 IB and it is keeping the kids in the public school system when they used to go to private.
DID YOU KNOW...that we have the same thing right here in Tucker? Midvale Elementary, Tucker Middle, and Tucker High are all offering an IB education for OUR kids (Tucker Middle is still in the process of acquiring its IB accreditation but will be a full IB school soon). As the AJC article states, the Buckhead schools are "one of only a handful in the nation to offer the International Baccalaureate curriculum from kindergarten through 12th grade." Tucker is then also "one of only a handful in the nation". Definitely something to be proud of!
