Burbank High School – International Baccalaureate

Located just south of downtown San Antonio, Luther Burbank High School is one of the most successful traditional high schools in the San Antonio Independent School District. Last year, the campus earned two distinctions: academic achievement in English Language Arts and Reading and Science. In line with Texas’ House Bill 5, students are divided into two small learning communities that provide pathways to both college and careers. House C2 SI (Criminal Justice, Cosmetology-S.T.E.M.-International Baccalaureate) includes a pathway for careers in criminal justice, cosmetology, computer science, as well as a pathway for the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. The IB program offered at Luther Burbank High School is an internationally advanced academic program in which students work toward earning their IB Diploma, which grants Texas students between 24-45 college credit hours. The house of Agriculture, Automotive, Business and Marketing, and Culinary Arts offers pathways in the fields of culinary, design and fabrication, plant science, and veterinary technician with an endorsement in business and industry. Students enrolled in the Business and Marketing pathway, as well as Automotive pathway, build skills necessary for careers in graphic design and illustration, business management, and automotive technologies. Moreover, the campus offers advanced placement courses in ten subjects. Burbank’s students can also participate in ChemBridge, a collaborative with the University of Texas at Austin, which allows students to earn six hours of college chemistry credit. Students can also earn dual credit hours from UT Austin through the OnRamps program.
