I don't know exactly but I think things will start to gel with this designation and we should know something soon. Lipscomb has certainly expressed an interest. The community foundation leaders might know something if you want to contact them:

On March 30 Woodrow celebrated its accreditation as an official IB World School with a flag-raising ceremony, followed by a breakfast reception with cake.

The flag of the International Baccalaureate Organization flying over the school culminated a three-year quest to become the first school in Dallas to offer the complete IB Diploma Programme.

As part of the school’s redesign into four college preparatory academies the idea of an IB academy was put forward by principal and alumna Ruth Allen Vail. Aided by parents, alumni, faculty and DISD administration Woodrow applied and became one of four candidate schools in the state of Texas. After extensive teacher training and a site visit by IBO officials the school received a letter from the organization’s headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. Woodrow, along with schools in Hong Kong, Germany, Kazakhstan, Cambodia and Greece were designated as official IB World Schools in March, 2011.

What Woodrow’s International Baccalaureate World School status means | Advocate Magazine

Attorney Suzanne Bass had enrolled her son Nathan in private schools his entire life until last school year, when she says a friend convinced her to “take a risk” on the pre-IB program at Woodrow.

The curriculum is challenging for Nathan, who took a physics class over the summer, she says. But Bass says the advantages of IB can be even greater than those of a top-notch private school. Students are encouraged to travel, and they can communicate online with IB students worldwide.

“It’s a tough, tough program. You’ve really got to dedicate yourself to do the work,” Bass says. “But you’re getting to know students all over the world. He will reap tremendous benefits and have a worldwide connection.”
