Overview

IB is a rigorous two-year comprehensive curriculum for grades 11 and 12 that prepares students for post-secondary study. Our District's high schools have been authorized to offer IB since the 1998-99 school year.

IB Diploma Students Select Essays

Half of all of our juniors and seniors take one or more IB classes; however, a smaller number decide to pursue the IB Diploma, which involves a 4,000 word essay. See the essay topics for the 2009-2010 school year at this link (see page 8 of this publication):
