Program Fees

IB students will pay:

• Exam and mailing fees of $200.00* for each IB course
  
• Yearly IB student administrative fee of $25.00* (this includes additional materials, resources, professional learning opportunities)

For current information on registration and exam fees charged by the International Baccalaureate® (IB) Organization, visit their website at www.ibo.org.

If financial circumstances are a concern, principals work with families to create solutions, which may include waiving fees, in full or in part, or a partial payment schedule.

Exams & Recognition

When enrolled in IB, you are still required to write the Alberta Diploma Exams to obtain your high school Diploma.

To ensure you are not overloaded with Diploma and IB exams in your Grade 12 year, you take some Diploma courses in both Grades 11 and 12. IB Exams are set by the International Baccalaureate® Organization (IBO) and you write them in May.

The IBO provides official documentation, which you may choose to use with post-secondary institutions.

Important

• Alberta Education does not recognize IB courses on official student transcripts, e.g., Chemistry 30 (IB) appears as Chemistry 30 on your Alberta Education transcript.
• You are evaluated on grade level outcomes from Alberta Programs of Study for Alberta Education transcripts.
  
• Students also receive credit towards their Alberta Education high school diploma for locally developed courses they take as part of an IB Programme, e.g., Mathematics 25 (IB) or English 35 (IB)
