The International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme has been identified as a district academic programme that provides innovative education and world class learning opportunities to students. Highly motivated and academic secondary students in School District #34 have equal access to this internationally renowned programme. It offers a structured scholastic curriculum for grade 11 and 12 (IB Diploma) for versatile, accomplished and intrinsically-driven learners. IB includes challenging, scholarly, and global experiences within a supportive environment that assures both breadth and depth of study. For general regulations that all IB schools must follow click here.
The International Baccalaureate Organization has prepared a “What is IB?” brochure that explains some of the rationale behind the program and some of the expectations of students in the program and what students can expect from the program.
The IB programme is recognized throughout North America as equivalent to first year university courses. Students who score well in IB subjects may receive university credit for their efforts. Due to the rigors of the IB programme, graduates tend to obtain significantly higher GPA's in the first year university.
