What is an IB Education?

Admissions Policy:

Students are eligible to apply for the IB MYP and DP/CP Programmes based on the following criteria:

• Students must have a 3.0 GPA between the 4th quarter of grade 7 and the first two quarters of grade 8 (for grade 9 admission). Students who meet eligibility criteria are then entered into the Choice Lottery.

• Students not initially selected by the lottery and those that submit their application after the initial deadline may be placed on a waiting list. We accept waitlisted students until the week before school starts.

• We accept applications for students entering 9th, 10th, and 11th grade. As DP and CP are two year programmes, Grade 12 students can only be admitted if they are coming from a DP/CP Programme, and we can continue their coursework, maintaining their eligibility for the Diploma/Certificate.
