Nova Scotia IB Practices
Students who are interested in the IB Diploma Program should consult with the IB Coordinator. In Nova Scotia all IB Diploma schools have open admission. While students who are considering enrolling in the IB Diploma Program are advised to take pre-IB courses in Grade 10, it is not required.
Any interested student in an IB school may enroll in the IBDP in grade 11. Students who are considering the IBDP and who did not take pre-IB courses in grade 10 are still eligible. Students wishing to take the IBDP who attend a non-IB school can apply for an out of district transfer to an IB school nearest to their home. Out of district students attending an IB school must make their own travel arrangements to attend that school.
Students who earn the IB Diploma are also awarded the Nova Scotia High School Graduation Diploma. Eligible students may also earn the IB French Bilingual Diploma as well as the Nova Scotia French Immersion Certificate or Integrated French Certificate.
