The International Baccalaureate

We are proud to announce that Tates Creek High School is an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme school!
Fall 2008 ACE/Pre-IB and IB Diploma Programme picnic for students and their families: August 16, 2008. Click HERE for more details.

Any student applicant (ACE Pre-IB or IB Diploma) who lives outside the TCHS attendance area needs to do two things in addition to filling out the TCHS IB application form.
(1) Complete an online FCPS Out-of-Area Request Form for 2008-2009, which is available on the FCPS website.
(2) Complete the enrollment process (see Teri Harper for additional information).
All 8th grade students (this includes all upcoming ACE Pre-IB students) who will be enrolling in Advanced Geometry or higher for their 9th grade year are required to take the FCPS Math Placement Exam.

In March, high school math department chairs visited all FCPS middle schools to administer this test.

On Thursday, May 1st, private school and home school students took their placement exams at Tates Creek High School.

If students (public, private, and home school) are not satisfied with their scores, they may retake the
exam(s) at TCHS on Monday, August 4th at 9:00am. Proof of summer tutoring is required. Parents should contact Ms. Shannon Cole, TCHS Math Department Chair, if their child should wish to retest on that date.
