The International
Preparatory Magnet (IPM) at Hamilton was established in 1995. It
was developed to prepare Denver Public School (DPS) students for the
International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma program at the high school
level. In DPS, the IB diploma program is offered at George
Washington High School.
The IPM, although not
affliated with the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO),
integrates the IBO principles with national, state, and DPS standards.
Since the first class
graduated in 1998, Hamilton IPM students have successfully entered IB
and other advanced high school programs.
