Do I have to enroll in the IB DP as a full diploma candidate or can I take a few DP courses?
The ID DP at BRHS is primarily run as a cohort of students who sit for the full diploma. As a full diploma candidate, students are required to take six DP courses (Group 1: Language & Literature; Group 2: Language Acquisition; Group 3: Individuals and Societies; Group 4: Sciences; Group 5: Mathematics; Group 6: The Arts) as well as complete three core components (the Extended Essay, Creativity Activity Service, and the Theory of Knowledge). 

There are opportunities for students to take individual IB DP courses as well. Please see the coordinator for more information. 

What is the duration of the IB DP?
The IB DP is a two-year programme of study. Students begin the programme in their junior year (11th grade) and complete it in their senior year. Courses are two years long, provide concurrency in learning, and the curriculum is spread out over two years. 

When do I take IB DP exams?
Students take the IB DP exams for each subject at the end of the course. For most subjects, this is at the end of the second year, a student's senior year. We are a May examination school. The IB subject exams must be completed on the day and time of day specified by the IB. The IB does not allow for rescheduling or make-up exams. Rescheduling is not authorized when an IB examination coincide with a local or national sporting event or competition, a school event of any kind, a local or national holiday, school examinations or a family event. Exceptions cannot be made.
