ββ International Baccalaureateβ
The IB Diploma Programme is an internationally recognized curriculum designed to prepare students thoroughly for the rigorous demands of university.
OSSD requirements and courses are integrated with the International Baccalaureate requirements so that upon successful completion of the program, a student is awarded both the IB Diploma and the OSSD. Preparation for the IB programme begins in Grade 9. Requirements for the programme are completed in the final two years of secondary school (Grades 11 and 12).
