Grade 11 - IB Diploma Programme I

Program Description

Recognized for its excellence by universities worldwide, the DP prepares students in Grades 11-12 for success in post-secondary education and beyond. Enabling the intellectual, social, emotional and physical development of students, the IB Diploma Programme gives students the opportunity to study from six subject groups: Language and Literature, Second Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Experimental Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Science, and the Arts. The curriculum requires students to study at least two languages in order to expand their understanding of different cultures. In addition to interdisciplinary study, the DP challenges students to apply the knowledge and skills gained by the programme through three core elements:

• The Extended Essay
• Theory of Knowledge
• CAS (Creativity, Action and Service)

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, Bronte College encourages a collaborative learning environment that focuses on inquiry-based learning rather than fact memorization. By satisfying the requirements of the Ontario Ministry of Education Curriculum guidelines, all Bronte students will graduate with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and have the option of pursuing the IB Diploma Programme (DP) in Grades 11 to 12 or the AP Program in Grade 12. Students enrolled in these enriched programs may be granted university credits upon successful completion of Grade 12 courses.
