INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE DIPLOMA PROGRAMME

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a rigorous pre-university course of studies, leading

to examinations, that meet the needs of highly motivated secondary school students between the ages of 16

and 19 years. Designed as a comprehensive two-year curriculum that allows its graduates to fulfill

requirements of various national education systems, the diploma model is based on the pattern of no single

country but incorporates the best elements of several. The IB graduation diploma is recognized worldwide

and successfully completed courses may earn university credit.

HONOURS PROGRAMME (NWSS PRE-IB)

In order to prepare students for the IB Programme, NWSS offers Honours courses to eligible students in

grades 9 and 10. It is expected that during this two year period regular coursework for grades 9, 10 and 11

will be completed. Student selection is done in May of the grade 8 year and is based upon:

IB DIPLOMA PROGRAMME

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme consists of six subject groups and students are

required to select one subject from each group. Some subjects are taken at the Higher Level (240 hours)

and some at the Standard Level (150 hours). Distribution requirements ensure that the science-oriented

student is challenged to learn a foreign language and that the natural linguist becomes familiar with

laboratory procedures. While overall balance is maintained, flexibility in choosing higher level

concentrations allows the student to pursue areas of personal interest and to meet special requirements for

university entrance.

Student selection for this programme is done in May of the grade 10 year and is based upon:

a) testing in Reading, Mathematics and Science

b) a test of critical thinking

c) teacher referrals - OR -

d) successful completion of the NWSS Pre-IB Programme
