[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A graduated senior we know just got results yesterday (full diploma). She’s already been accepted to and plans to attend a great college. Is there value to having the diploma on your resume after HS once college admissions are over? For grad school or job applications? Our HS doesn’t offer IB. [/quote]

No. No one will care after college. Do not put it on a resume, any more than you'd put National Honor Society on a resume after HS. [/quote]

-1  Any resume where you list your education level including HS (some fields/time periods this is the norm and is required) you put it with your education background.  So Name of high school, International Baccalaureate Diploma.  Just like you would list major and "magna cum laude" or whatever with your college degree.  It's considered different than an award, it's a descriptor of your education and attainment in that context.[/quote]

+1 to this post. And since this forum frequently has posts and threads talking about people's kids going to overseas colleges for undergrad or grad school, I'd add, if your grown-up kid applies to a college, graduate program or, yes, a job overseas -- mentioning IB certainly will be understood and valued by anyone reading that resume or application. The US IB program adheres to standards they understand outside the US. I'd add that for some US grad programs and employers, the IB diploma will also be meaningful, depending on the subject of the grad program or the  nature of the job. Especilaly in the early years after college. Probably not 20 years down the line when a resume is mostly about experience. [/quote]

Some Fed jobs the standard cv template still asks you to list your educational background back to HS and you would definitely put IB diploma there.[/quote]
