Gifted Atlanta

Norcross High School is now accepting applications for its International Baccalaureate magnet program.

Rising freshmen can apply to the pre-IB program; rising juniors are eligible to apply to the IB Diploma / Certificate program. Deadline to apply to either program is March 1, 2011.

The program is open to students living anywhere in Gwinnett County. Once a student living outside the NHS district has been accepted into the IB program at NHS, he or she will need to request a permissive transfer from Gwinnett County Schools.

The International Baccalaureate Programme is a well-known, rigorous academic curriculum. Students who earn an IB Diploma may be granted sophomore status when they start college.

Questions about the IB program at NHS can be directed to the school’s IB coordinator, Kathy Sanchez. You can call her at the school’s main number, (770) 448-3674.
