The International Baccalaureate Program @Roosevelt: A magnet school

The  provides a world-class educational experience aligned with the frameworks and standards of the International Baccalaureate Program. We expect all students who successfully complete our course of study to be prepared for the International Baccalaureate diploma.

The International Baccalaureate Program is a rigorous college preparatory course of study that meets the needs of highly motivated secondary school students. The IB diploma allows graduates to fulfill requirements of national education systems worldwide, incorporating the best elements of each.

Incentivize, incentivize, incentivize (is that a real word?)

Anyway, offering some very attractive, valuable extras can draw and keep good students and their families.

Depending on the specifics of the school, off the top of my head:
* A solid, college counseling/advising program. Including SAT/ACT prep. I mean using the type of college counselors that parents pay money for privately.
* Subsidized study abroad opportunities. Develop solid exchange programs and relationships with schools in Europe, Asia, South America.
* Real service learning opportunities. Peace Corp type programs for teens-in fact, get the Peace Corps in there.
* Government intership programs-Congress, WH, Supreme Court, we are in DC! Set that up, please!
* Scholarships for graduates in good standing. Surely DCPS can find some $$ to reward kids who go through this new program with great success.
