Inside King's-Edgehill School
An International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma is a challenging two-year educational program for student’s in their final two years of high school.
Graduating from this program provides students with internationally accepted qualifications for entry into universities and colleges worldwide. In addition to academic respect, graduates of the IB programme are known to flourish intellectually and emotionally.
The hard work and determination associated with graduating with an IB Diploma is known to stay with a graduate long after they finish secondary school. Studying for an IB Diploma is more than just learning the basic principles of math, languages, arts, sciences and the humanities – earning an IB Diploma makes you a lifelong learner.
It has been said that studying and subsequently graduating with an IB Diploma makes a person more engaged, more aware and more resourceful in all facets of life and work. Graduates are critical thinkers, responsible citizens and informed participants in world and civic affairs.
The IB exam cycle prepares students for post-secondary academic life by teaching them how to study, what to expect through rigorous examinations and how to write longer essays and exam papers. The knowledge of how to study, how to learn and how to succeed makes an IB Diploma invaluable to any young person entering university.
