Why IB? International Baccalaureate Diploma Program
IB Diploma Students are prepared for College Colleges recruit IB students because they are well rounded, intellectually curious, community minded, and they know the type of work that IB students have done and can do. 2012 study of Chicago public schools interviewed Diploma Programme alumni. Students reported that they felt prepared by the program to succeed in college. A 2009 study looked at the standards for seven Diploma Programme courses and found a high degree of alignment with standards for collegereadiness. IB standards address key cognitive strategies(critical thinking, intellectual inquisitiveness and interpretation skills) that have been identified by college instructors as necessary for college success.
Colleges recognize the value of an IB education The average acceptance rate of IB students into university/college is 22% higher than the average acceptance rate of the total population. The acceptance rate of IB students into Ivy League institutions (Princeton, Yale, Brown, Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, University of Pennsylvania) is between 3% and 13% higher compared to the total population acceptance rate. College Credit Varies 25 30 credits, sophomore standing
IB students more likely to succeed in college A 2010 study that looked at performance on IB exams and college GPA of over 1500 IB students enrolled in the University of California system found: IB students earned higher GPAs and graduated at higher rates than a matched comparison group. This held across all family income levels. Performance in the Diploma Programme was the strongest predictor of college GPA.
Intrinsic Value Learner Profile Ten attributes recognized and developed by IB World Schools Choice Research topics, paths through the diploma program Developmentally Appropriate Designed for students ages 16 19. Focus in on how adults learn, rather than how children learn.
