IB Course Offerings
All courses are taken in the junior and senior year. Pursuing the Diploma will provide the student with the greatest opportunity to earn college credit and is very highly regarded by universities. Research suggests that IB students are more likely than their peers to complete their undergraduate degrees and pursue graduate work; and that they are more likely to be engaged in various aspects of university life.
For the Diploma you must take one course in each of six areas, along with Theory of Knowledge. At least three and no more than four courses must be at HL (Higher Level).
In addition, students must write a 4,000 word essay (Extended Essay) and fulfill the Creativity, Action and Service (CAS) requirement.
HL (Higher Level) courses are two year courses taken in the junior and senior year. SL (Standard Level) courses are technically one year courses, but in most instances require two or more years of preparation.
