Welcome to the 2007-2008 school year
The Honors program at Rancho Buena Vista offers a wide variety of courses for academically motivated students. In addition to our Advanced Placement classes, RBV is fortunate to be an official member of the International Baccalaureate Organization, a prestigious, worldwide program that offers an incredibly rigorous two-year pre-university course of study, leading to examinations, that meets the needs of the highly motivated eleventh and twelfth grade student. At Rancho, students can opt to take single subject AP and IB exams. Yet those students who wish to challenge themselves at the highest level and receive an unparalleled preparation for their college studies may strive for the full IB diploma.
Please take advantage of our upcoming informational nights to find out more about Honors at RBV.
