IB CP Alum Experiences
"When I moved from Pakistan to the USA in my junior year, the IBCP program became a steady source of academic challenge during a time of change. It kept me grounded as I adjusted to a new school and culture, while also pushing me to stay focused on my goals. The program helped me develop time management and critical thinking skills, which have proven essential now at UVA. IBCP set me up for college by preparing me for rigorous coursework and encouraging me to approach every challenge with adaptability and a global mindset."
