Hello Mira Loma IB Students and Families!

I hope the 2024-25 school year has started strong and you are enjoying your IB courses.

September is a busy month of initiation and registration in the IB Diploma Program. Juniors will be introduced to the program through a series of workshops related to academic integrity, exam planning and the CAS program. IB exam registration is now open and will continue through October 20th.

I look forward to working with all of the IBDP families this year. If you have any questions related to the IB Diploma Program at Mira Loma, please feel free to contact me via email.

Wondering if your dream school will give you credit for your IB courses?

This exciting new resource for prospective students, parents, teachers, and counsellors is a helpful tool when planning your college journey. The IB Recognition Database will allow you to see what each institution has set as their admissions criteria regarding: IB programmes, courses, grades and subjects, depending on what information has been added by the individual institute. Currently there are around 500 university records to be found. This database can be used to search for different study options in two ways:

• Searching for country or territory recognition statements
• Searching for university recognition statements

The country or territory search function allows users to view published statements for each country or territory, including any official agreements or policies from the national or state governing bodies regarding IB curricula. Additionally, for the United States and Canada, there is a state or province search function as well.
