IB Career Related Studies
Guajome Park Academy is an authorized International Baccalaureate Career Programme (IBCP) school. At the start of the 2018-19 school year there were only 5 IBCP schools in the state of California and we are excited to offer these pathways for our students.
The IBCP is a unique programme that allows students to focus on potential career opportunities, but with the academic distinction of the IB, preparing students for college as well as a specific career focus.
