ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Academic programs provided at Mira Loma include the international Baccalaureate Program, International Studies Program, International Passport Program, and Special Education Program. Learn more about each one of them here. As you look to challenge your academic skills and further your education, joining the program that fits your learning style is important.
International Baccalaureate Program
The International Baccalaureate program at Mira Loma is part of the International Baccalaureate Organization’s world-wide system of schools. The IBO’s mission statement clearly indicates the philosophical approach of all IB schools:
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right. (Click here to go to the I.B Website)
The IBO offers three distinct programs: Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Years. At Mira Loma we offer both the Middle Years Program (MYP) and the Diploma Program (DP).
International Studies Program
Relationships…..Relevancy…..Rigor…..Responsibility.
The International Studies (IS) Program is an interdisciplinary, humanities-based program of specialized, rigorous coursework meeting a-g college/university admission requirements. The IS Program at Mira Loma High School currently serves between 250-300 students. Graduates from the International Studies Program collectively contribute over 8,000 hours of service in the Sacramento community annually.
Celebrating years of humanities-based academic rigor, intercultural exploration, and community service achievement.
Special Education Program
The Special Education Program currently has over 130 students served by seven different case managers. Students exhibit a range of disabilities from mild to severe.
Many students are mainstreamed in a variety of general education classes. The goal for most students in Special Education is to give them access to the general education curricula at grade level. In the majority of classes the students are using Common Core State Standards in academic and elective classes.
Special Education teachers are highly qualified in various subject areas. Case managers plan schedules to ensure their students are enrolled in all of the necessary classes at each grade level in order to progress toward graduation.
Many Special Education students participate in the Passport Program where they receive support and work on classroom assignments. They have access to the library, research materials, and computers. Students monitor their grades, attendance and classroom assignments on a regular basis. They interact with peers and collaborate on presentations and projects.
Students are required to use planners which are checked daily. If a student begins to encounter failure in mainstream classes, despite collaborative teacher efforts and after exhausting all necessary modifications and accommodations, the case manager will withdraw the student through the IEP process.
A major focus of all case managers is the creation and implementation of their students’ Transition Plan. The transition can include young adult center, community, college, career, job corps, military, Department of Rehabilitation, tech school and four-year universities.
