International Baccalaureate (IB) Curriculum

All IB diploma candidates are required to complete one subject from each of six groups. At least three but not more than four of the six subjects are taken at the Higher Level (HL): the others are taken at the Standard (SL). Each required subject is graded on a scale of 1 (minimum) to 7 (maximum). The award of the IB Diploma requires a minimum of 24 total points on the IB exams and the completion of three additional requirements: the Extended Essay, an independent research paper: a course entitled Theory of Knowledge (TOK), which explores the relationship among various disciplines and ensures that students engage in critical reflection and analysis of the knowledge required within and beyond the classroom, and 150 hours of Creativity, Action, and Service (CAS), extra curricular and community service activities.  The Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge Essay, and CAS requirements are evaluated by IB. If any component is found lacking, an IB Diploma will not be awarded.  IB courses are assigned weighted credit. The cost of the IB Diploma program is approximately $600.00. A deposit is paid in the fall of the student's junior year. The remainder is due by the fall of the student's senior year. IB classes are open to any student with the required prerequisite courses and an interest in a challenging and broad academic program. Scholarships are available for those who need financial aid. Any student considering the IB Diploma Program is strongly encouraged to complete their Fine Art credit, P.E. credit, Health credit, and Computer Application credit prior to their junior year.
