Entrance is granted by portfolio or admissions assessment; we participate in the early admissions process. Contact the school for more information.

IB at Rufus King

Rufus King is authorized in the Diploma Years Programme (DP) of study by the IB Organization.

Rufus King is also an approved Middle Years Programme school.  IB World Schools share a common philosophy-a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education-that we believe is important for our students.

* Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its three academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP) or the Diploma Programme (and in addition the IB Career-related Certificate). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
