IB Program Information Night
IB Program Information Night
Wed. Nov 22nd at 6pm – NWSS Gym
Students who are currently in grades 8 to 10, along with their parents, are invited to join our International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme information session on Wednesday November 22nd in the NWSS Gym. Learn about how the IB program can support all learners: for those interested in getting a jump on their post-secondary opportunities and for those who want to delve deeper into individual courses that spark their passions and interests.
The information session will be held in the NWSS Gym, doors open at 6pm, with the presentation starting promptly at 6:15pm. Parking is limited so please try to arrive early.
What is IB? It’s a dynamic, engaging program that supports all kinds of students. It’s a great option for students looking to develop their academic skills for post-secondary, and possibly early university credits while in high school. It can be a great way to help prepare the students for university level classes. For other students it’s a way to engage them more deeply in specific subject matter and courses that interest them.
Here’s what we’ll cover at the meeting:
- NWSS’s IB Admissions policies and timelines
- A full review of courses available
- Outlines the difference between an IB Diploma and our partial course options
- Find out how we’re continuing to grow our options to offer more pathways to an IB Diploma
- Discussions of suggested courses for students to take in grades 9 & 10, including the specific IB pre-requisite courses
- A full outline of the opportunities available to NWSS IB students
