Diploma Program

What is the Diploma Program?

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program is a collection of rigorous, college-level courses that help students prepare for college and also carry to the potential to earn college credit. Diploma Program courses have the same International Baccalaureate philosophy as our 9th and 10th grade Middle Years Program and Careers-related Program. The International Baccalaureate website provides more information if you're interested.

3 ways to be a Diploma Program Student @ Edison

Take 1+ Diploma Program classes. Classes are open to all who are willing to take on the challenge. We encourage all EHS students to choose at least one! Where do you want to be a risk-taker?

Medallion Candidate. Show yourself and universities that you're a motivated student, able to excel in college-level classes and active in the community.

IB Diploma Candidate. Ready to push yourself? The Diploma is the "decathalon" of high school academics. Like earning the Medallion, the IB Diploma demonstrates that you are motivated and able to excel in college-level classes, active in the community, and able to balance it all. It is recognized internationally and many colleges provide special awards to those who earn it.
