IBCP — International Baccalaureate Career Programme

William Howard Taft High School
2021 — 2023 (Junior & Senior Year)

The International Baccalaureate Career Programme (IBCP) is a rigorous and internationally recognized program that combines IB coursework with career-focused study. As part of the programme, students take IB level academic classes alongside a specialized career track. At Taft, this was paired with a Graphic Design program, where hands-on design work and creative thinking were developed alongside a strong academic foundation. The IBCP emphasizes critical thinking, communication, and real-world readiness — skills that continue to shape how I approach both technical and creative challenges today.
