Dear San Francisco Friends' Meeting,

Here are the beginnings of World University and School's

'International Baccalaureate Diploma and Degree Program' -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_International_Baccalaureate_Diploma_and_Programme -

with part of this I.B. Programme planned to be

MIT-OpenCourseWare High School-centric (Creative Commons' licensed),

online (e.g. in virtual worlds and Google Hangouts - to increase access),

focusing on these United Nations' languages only - 


Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), English, French, Russian, Spanish ..., so not only in English)


and integrated with the MIT-OCW-centric World University,

but part of which could also be on-the-ground at a developing SF Friends' high school.
