Admission Procedures
The IB Program at Bryan High School begins in the junior year. To be as prepared as possible, students should take a sequence of rigorous courses in the 8th, 9th, and 10th grades. For this reason, students not zoned for Bryan High School may attend Bryan High beginning in the 9th grade to ensure a seamless transition to the Diploma Programme. Students should complete the following steps:
Current 8th graders and students new to IB (current grades 9 & 10) should complete an IB Application. Decision letters will be mailed home. Students and parents must complete the decision letter and return decision letters to accept a spot in the program. The timeline will vary from year to year but will be posted on the BISD Advanced Academics website.
