International Baccalaureate

The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a rigorous, worldwide academic program based on an internationally recognized curriculum. IB students complete Alberta Education prescribed curriculum as well as additional curriculum outlined by the international IB organization. 

The IB Diploma Programme is offered in Grade 11 and 12 and is designed to fulfill admission requirements of major universities around the world. Students may pursue either a full diploma program, which incorporates all academic disciplines along with an opportunity to develop research and study skills or subject-specific certificates, which provide targeted enrichment and allow students to challenge themselves in chosen academic areas. 

The IB Middle Years Programme is offered in Grade 7 to 9 and is designed to help students develop the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and skills necessary to participate actively and responsibly in a changing world.

The IB Primary Years Programme,offered for students aged 3 to 12, focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside.

Focused on providing a broad, liberal arts program base, IB is globally recognized as excellent preparation for university studies.The IB program is ideally suited for students who wish to engage in studies beyond the mandated Alberta Education Program of Studies.
