The IB Diploma Program
The IB Diploma Program
The IB Diploma program is designed as an academically challenging and balanced program with final assessments that prepare students for success in college and life beyond. The diploma program is a two-year program for juniors and seniors. College credit may also be earned depending on the subject results and the individual university acceptance policies. The IB Diploma Program:
Balances subject breadth and depth and considers the nature of knowledge across disciplines through the unique Theory of Knowledge course,
Encourages international-mindedness starting with a foundation in the students’ own language and culture,
Develops a positive attitude to learning that prepares students for university education,
Requires rigorous external assessments with global standards, and
Emphasizes the development of the whole student – physically, emotionally, intellectually, and ethically.
IB DP Courses in Dallas ISD Public Schools
IB DP courses can be offered at two different levels – higher (HL) or standard (SL). Most IB DP courses are two-year sequences with a few exceptions among the SL offerings. IB DP courses offered at individual Dallas ISD Public Schools vary slightly.
Preparing You for College Success
IB Programs challenge high school students to take part in programs of education that can lead them to some of the highest-ranking universities around the world.
Examples: At Johns Hopkins University, IB students typically earn more college credits for an equivalent score on an IB exam than an AP exam and at the University of Maryland, it can be up to twice as much.
Students that graduate from the IB Diploma Program have the opportunity to receive up to 24 college credits and earn Sophomore or advanced standing upon entrance to college.
