What is the Diploma Program?

The DP is designed for students aged 16 through 18. At Stockton Collegiate, DP years are 11th and 12th grades.
   "The programme aims to develop students who have excellent
​    breadth and depth of knowledge – students who flourish
    physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically."
​    
(from IB website Diploma Programme)
​
Schools must be authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization to offer the DP. Stockton Collegiate was initially authorized in 2010 with a renewal in 2017.

IB Learner Profile

Picture
The IB Learner Profile is at the heart of an IB education. The ten attributes describe expectations for students, teachers, staff, and parents. The IB Learner Profile guides curricular choices and is the framework for all school activity--academic, inter-personal, and extra-curricular.

Extended Essay

   "The Extended Essay is an independent, self-directed piece of
    research, finishing with a 4,000-word paper...[which] provides
    practical preparation for undergraduate research and an
    opportunity for students to investigate a topic of special
​    interest to them." 
(from IB website Diploma Programme)
Stockton Collegiate DP students have written on a wide range of topics in all subjects. 


IB and College

An IB education prepares students for college. IB students are prepared for the work load and for the thinking, reading, and writing required in all disciplines at the university level.
                         DP courses are college level courses.

Colleges and universities recognize the value of an IB education.
       IB exams scores of 5, 6, or 7 equal college course credit
       IB Diploma recipients can enter college as a sophomore
