    International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (MYP) Candidate School

    In August 2020, Dater High School introduced the International Baccalaureate program to students in grades 7 and 8. Dater High is adding a grade level each year through high school to the International Baccalaureate program, so students starting now have the opportunity to graduate with an internationally recognized IB diploma.

    IB does not replace Dater’s curriculum, but rather it enhances it. Students continue to learn traditional subjects, meeting all state academic content standards, and all 7th and 8th grade students are enrolled in exploratory Spanish or French classes.

    The International Baccalaureate framework allows students to see connections between the subjects they study and to apply them to real life, encourages global thinking and community service, and supports the development of effective communication.

    Career-Technical Education Pathways 

    Dater High offers career-tech programs focused on preparing students for opportunities after graduation, including college, vocational training and employment.

    • Dater’s Culinary Arts Institute provides professional training to students interested in hospitality and culinary careers. Taught by a professional chef and former restaurateur, students work in a commercial kitchen lab, preparing food, learning about food and kitchen safety, and exploring their creativity. Students enter this program in 10th grade.
    • Dater High has a special partnership with DHL Logistics allowing interested seniors to learn about the growing logistics and supply chain fields while earning college credits and employment at DHL.
