It’s Official: Newbury Park High School Expands International Baccalaureate Programme to All Grade Levels

The Conejo Valley Unified School District is proud to announce that Sequoia Middle School (grades 6-8) and Newbury Park High School (grades 9-10) have officially achieved authorization for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP)!

This significant accomplishment marks the culmination of a rigorous, multi-year process of planning, implementation, evaluation, and dedication to meeting the high standards of the International Baccalaureate Organization. Through the commitment of our students, staff, administrators, and community, both schools have successfully demonstrated their readiness to deliver the IB Middle Years Programme.

With this achievement, Conejo Valley Unified School District becomes the first school district in Ventura County to offer a complete TK–12 IB continuum. Students can now experience an IB education journey beginning at Cypress Elementary School (TK–5), continuing through Sequoia Middle School (grades 6–8) and Newbury Park High School (grades 9–10) through the MYP, and culminating with the IB Diploma Programme at Newbury Park High School (grades 11–12).

The IB Middle Years Programme is designed to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who are prepared to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world. Through challenging academics, global perspectives, and meaningful real-world connections, the MYP empowers students to become lifelong learners and engaged citizens.

The IB is globally renowned worldwide for excellence, and the CVUSD is immensely proud to be home to three of the 6,200 IB authorized schools from more than 160 countries. 

Congratulations to Sequoia Middle School and Newbury Park High School on this tremendous achievement! This is a true testament to the ongoing innovation and commitment of our school communities to providing rigorous, impactful education to our community of learners.
