International Baccalaureate (IB) is an international educational program for students with higher aptitudes and can manage an accelerated curriculum rigor. International Baccalaureate has a rich history in progressive academics with courses designed to offer international students a standard curriculum that colleges and universities worldwide could use to judge international applicants' quality. Many schools have desires to adopt for reasons including the program's perception to provide quality instruction in 21st-century skills, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork, and cultural sensitivity. International Baccalaureate programs should provide an opportunity for all qualified students; however, access for minority students has not kept pace with the rapid expansion. Studies reveal discrepancies between diverse students' needs and the curriculum offered in these programs, which indicates a commitment to an expansive scope of services for students in urban environments. International Baccalaureate should provide more support options to enable all potential students to participate in these advanced academic programs. The specific problem is African American male students are underrepresented in the (IB) program due to insufficient alternative assessments or educational strategies to promote identification. Using a qualitative multiple case study, the researcher interviewed eight educators from two title 1 urban schools that offered the IB program. Data collection involved interviewing and a focus group through video (Microsoft Teams). Ten themes emerged from the data analysis with the help of NVivo 12 and a manual approach. The findings included the absence of family engagement, lack of diversity training for teachers, which results in minimal recommendations into the program, stringent entrance criterion, and African American male identity issues. These findings warranted recommendations of practice for IB curriculum developers, school administrators, and educators.
