Big Sky High School in Missoula, Montana becomes International Baccalaureate School – Health Science Academy Has Openings!

The IB program is a rigorous college prep program, similar to AP courses. Students can sign up and pay for the IB courses, which teachers believe will help them get ready for college and future careers.

Big Sky http://www.mcpsmt.org/bigsky is one of 4,000 IB Schools in the world.

Students get college credit through taking these courses, but it depends on what college you attend. At the University of Montana students who take the whole IB program which is two years, will get sophomore standing. At Montana State University they receive sophomore standing with honors.
