Program Description
|
The IB Diploma Programme is a challenging program for students in their junior and senior year of high school. Schools who apply and receive approval to affiliate with the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) in Geneva, Switzerland, teach a common, international curriculum that leads to an IB Diploma. Students earn an IB Diploma by successfully sitting for the external exams in their six academic areas, completing the Theory of Knowledge course, composing an extended essay that reflects their own research and analysis, and completing 150 hours of creativity, service and action.
The course requirements for the IB Diploma are equal to those of most universities. Students who participate in the IB Diploma Programme are extremely well prepared for the rigors of university courses and typically out perform students who did not participate in an IB Programme. Studies done have shown that students who participated in an IB Diploma Programme scored better on their SAT's and maintained higher college GPA's than students who participated in AP classes or regular high school classes.
The IB Diploma Progamme provides highly motivated students an opportunity to pursue a rigorous liberal arts type curriculum. The IB Programme at WCHS draws students from throughout the entire Dysart Unified District.
