The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is student-centred
with a focus on developing intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills
for students who live, learn and work in a rapidly changing world. The program
emphasizes critical, compassionate thinking, community involvement and
intercultural understanding. It is founded on international standards and
assessment. Students who complete the program earn both an Ontario Secondary
School Diploma and an IB Diploma.
We are
pleased to announce the expansion of York Region District School Board’s IB
Program offerings. In addition to Bayview Secondary School’s IB Program, YRDSB has four candidate school sites for the
Diploma Program:
- Alexander Mackenzie High School
- Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School
- Maple High School
- Milliken Mills High School
Current
Grade 8 and Grade 9 students and families interested in YRDSB’s IB Program are
invited to attend an information session to learn more about the program
