Newbury Park
High School
Newbury Park High School is home to the oldest and largest International Baccalaureate (IB) program in the region. Our Diploma Program (DP) is a rigorous pre-university course of study for highly motivated secondary school students.
This broad and balanced curriculum requires 11th and 12th grade IB diploma candidates to study multiple languages, social science, experimental science, mathematics, and an elective.
As an alternative to the full diploma program, students may choose to test in one or more IB subjects for individual course recognition.
Our SEM is based on best practices in gifted education and aims to challenge and enrich every child's education by facilitating both academic and affective learning opportunities to build a foundation for critical thinking, achievement, innovation and success.
Acacia's student-centered Homework Philosophy empowers students to read, pursue their interests and allows for choice and family time, while working towards their personal learning goals.
