HOW TO BECOME AN IB PROGRAMME CANDIDATE AT BMHS

​

​

Who is Eligible?

The IB Diploma and IB Career-related begins in 11th grade. All current 10th grade students are eligible to apply. Students not districted to BMHS, must complete an application process with one of the IB progammes, in order to attend BMHS for IB.

​

When does the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) and IB Career-Related Programme (IBCP) begin?

Officially, the IBDP and IBCP is a 2-year program, spanning a student’s 11th and 12th grade years.  However, because IB is a rigorous academic program, it is important that students prepare in 9th and 10th grade for the type of work they will be asked to do. Please contact your student's school counselor for more information specific to your child.
