IB Candidacy Declaration and Agreement – Registering for IB Exams

All students enrolled in a Year 2 DP course received a hard copy of the MUHS IB Candidacy Declaration and Agreement Form earlier this week. Students and their parent(s)/guardian(s) are asked to review and complete the form by selecting one of the following:

Option A: The student will pursue IB recognition by completing the required external assessments for selected courses (May 2026 exams).
Option B: The student will not complete IB external assessments and will take the course(s) for MUHS credit only.

Completed and signed forms are due to the course teacher or DP Coordinator by October 15. For questions, please contact Reeves Livesay at rlivesay@acsdvt.org.
