The IB is a holistic approach to teaching and learning which aims to develop students who possess the characteristics of the IB Learner Profile.
The International Baccalaureate® Diploma Programme
Students enrolled in the IB Diploma Programme (DP) take six IB core courses in the same subjects required for a traditional high school education. Students learn research skills through each course and are given opportunities to connect their learning to an area of personal interest. Candidates also complete the Theory of Knowledge course, which supports connections in all areas of their education. Students work to become balanced and well-rounded through involvement in activities outside the classroom. The IB Diploma Programme is an ideal opportunity for students looking to continue their education at a college or university after graduation.
The International Baccalaureate® Career-related Programme
The IB Career-related Programme (CP) is geared towards students who already have a future career goal in mind or students who are taking a Career Technical Education program (CTE). The IB CP is a great opportunity for those who would like to continue their education after high school through university, community college or trade school. Students complete the CTE pathway requirements, take at least two IB courses connected to their pathway, and complete the IB Core which includes a Personal and Professional Skills course, service learning, a career-focused research project, and second language development.
