Enrollment in the IB Diploma Programme at AISL
Enrollment in the IB Diploma Programme at AISL
Any student can apply to pursue an IB certificate in one or more classes. Similarly, acceptance into the FULL IB Diploma Program is open to all who qualify, with the IBDP Coordinator, HS Counselor, and HS Principal advising on best fit placements. Acceptance into the Full diploma program will usually be decided in the 3rd quarter of the 10th grade year.
All 10th Grade students who are interested in earning IB certificates or the full IB diploma will attend a meeting with the IB coordinator and relevant staff.
At this meeting, they will receive information about the various components of the program and the courses offered in the eleventh and twelfth grades. A time for questions will be provided.
All students will then submit their selections for courses and alternate courses for their eleventh and twelfth grade years.
Based upon choices made, the academic / career counselor (with input as needed from the IBDP Coordinator & Student Support Services Coordinator) will then help complete the two-year plan for the student.
Students will not be considered for admission into the IB diploma program after the first quarter of the eleventh grade year.
Important Note:
Important Note:
Enrolling in the full diploma program can be quite demanding for those who are not sufficiently prepared. Success in the program requires motivation, open-mindedness, perseverance, a desire to learn, willingness to accept criticism, and relative maturity. Grades earned prior to enrollment to the IB program are assumed to be a major indicator of the characteristics necessary for success in the program.
