IB courses are open to all BSH students who wish to challenge themselves and work hard. Students may choose to take the external exams in May to earn college credit, but this is not a requirement unless a student is a Full Diploma student. Full IB Diploma students must take six subjects that meet certain IB requirements.
Our first Full IB Diploma cohort has 21 students in the class of 2012. Our second Full Diploma cohort has 42 students in the class of 2013.
