Parkland is an authorized IB World School offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. From the IB aims and objectives, Parkland created its magnet school theme of Rigor, Relevance, Relationships, Internationalism, and the Arts. All students enrolled at Parkland are exposed to the rigorous standards demanded of this internationally recognized program.
The IB program's philosophy is infused throughout all subject areas using the magnet school objectives:
- Teachers will present curriculum to students through experiential, inquiry-based, interdisciplinary lessons.
- Students will be required to think and reason at high levels – ask and answer analytical questions.
- Students will develop advanced research skills.
- Students will develop mastery of written and verbal communication of ideas.
- Faculty and staff will educate the social, physical, and cognitive well-being of each student to prepare them for involvement in community and extra-curricular activities.
- Students will recognize the roles and responsibilities of being a member of the International Community.
- Students and teachers will integrate cutting edge technology into their work products.
The magnet program is open to students from throughout Forsyth County. Transportation is provided by Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools to any student who fills out a Magnet School Application.
