7 Criteria for Program Delivery Model Which delivery model provides the greatest access to shared / specialized spaces for students in all programs; Which delivery model will best support student choice / flexibility within all programs; Which delivery model best supports the IBO requirements for IB Programme Authorization at Merivale HS.

8 IB Diploma Programme Requirements a. that the schedule provides for the recommended hours for each standard and higher level subject; b. that the schedule provides for the development of the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) course over two years; and c. that the schedule respects concurrency of learning in the Diploma Programme. Concurrency of learning means teaching the curriculum in a schedule that consistently exposes the student to all of their subjects over the two years of the programme. This allows students and teachers to make links between experiences in the core program and the academic subjects that are being studied.
