  1. The IB Programme at Mulgrave School

  2. The different IB Programmes • The Primary Years Programme (K – Grade 6) • The Middle Years Programme (Grades 7 – 10) • The Diploma Programme (Grades 11 and 12)

  3. What is the IB Diploma? • It is a 2 year “stand alone” programme. • It is a demanding, comprehensive curriculum. • Students participate in: • Creativity, Action and Service (CAS) • Theory of Knowledge • The Extended Essay • Together CAS, TOK and EE form the core of the IBDP.

  4. What the IB Diploma is not …common misconceptions • It is not impossible to do! • It is not only for the academically gifted students. • It was never designed to be an “Honours Stream”. • It is not exclusive. • The IB is not only a university preparatory programme. • Universities know about the IB and students will not be disadvantaged by taking it. • “I will have no life” • “I can’t do it”

  5. Do students have to complete the Diploma or only parts of it? • Students need to pursue the full diploma (which means that they have to try!) • At the beginning of their grade 12 year, they will decide in which subjects they will write the IB exams.

  6. What does an IB student look like? The IB learner strives to be: • An inquirer • Knowledgeable • A thinker • A communicator • Principled • Open-minded • Caring • Adventurous • Balanced • Reflective

  7. Do I have to be …… • a “straight A student” ? • perfect in every way? • an academic nut? • a book junky? But what about …… • Hard working? • Wanting to succeed in life? • Willing to make choices? • Willing to take chances? NO! YES!

  8. Why IB? • The IB Programme (whether students end up with the full Diploma or not) offers students the best education programme available ... period! • Students’ success rate in post secondary study is higher – guaranteed!

  9. What is the value of an IB Diploma? • Students receive a qualification that is accepted around the world. • Global awareness and diversity of IB students. • IB students are successful in their post secondary pursuits. • Some universities assign credit for first year courses – saving time and money at university. • Students will have had the benefit of the best education that we can offer; skills for life.

  10. What happens if a student does not obtain an IB Diploma? • If students complete only parts of the diploma, they receive certificates in the courses which they finish. • All students will have completed CAS, the Theory of Knowledge (a credit course at many universities) • All students will have completed the Extended Essay which, at the very least, means that they have the skills to do research and write a report. • Students will have learnt many other skills that they would not have had if they were not in the IB!

  11. Why not go to a public school where you can get better grades? • Sorry to tell you this, but all students will not have the same opportunities when applying to universities. • Universities want IB students! • After the IB, students will be better equipped to deal with a rigorous university programme.

  12. The IB Programme at Mulgrave School “All three International Baccalaureate programmes purposefully help students develop not only the skill to ready them for success in the 21st century, but also the attitudes. The IB standards and principles are built around best teaching and learning practices which translates into the delivery of a robust international programme for our students.” IBO
