  2. Before we begin… • THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING  • BY YOU SHOWING UP, YOU ARE TELLING YOUR CHILD: “I CARE ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS YEAR.”

  3. WHAT IS DP? • Diploma Programme • Rigorous college preparatory program with a global focus • “Develop physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically” • Divided into Higher Level and Standard Level • Students will engage in 3 HL courses, 3 SL courses, Theory of Knowledge, Creativity Action and Service Project, and Extended Essay

  4. How hard is it? • DP Students will engage in 7 college – level courses, most of them 2 years long • By the end of their senior year, diploma students will take between 15-20 non multiple choice college level exams that are shipped around the world and graded by an IB moderator in a different country. • By the end of their senior year, full diploma students will have submitted 4 college level essays that are shipped around the world and graded by an IB moderator in a different country.

  5. How hard is it? • During the two years as a DP student, they will complete 6 college level writing or audio assessments, one in each subject, that may contain multiple parts. These assessments are approximately 10 pages each at length. • By the end of their senior year, full diploma candidates will be required to complete an 18 month long Community Service Project. • These requirements are, of course, in addition to everyday classroom assignments and homework given by their instructors!

  6. HOW DOES AP DIFFER? • IB • Minimum of 2-3 tests per subject taken • Free-Response/Written Exam style • Exam questions focus on application • Holistic/Cross Curricular Model • Community Service included • IB Diploma awarded additional university credit • AP • 1 test per subject taken • Overwhelmingly multiple choice format • “Buffet” style • Concept/Factoid base
