Is your student in Grade 9 at a Newfoundland and Labrador school? Might they be interested in attending an internationally recognized university preparation program offered right here in our province?

Mark your calendars and tune in Wednesday evening (February 8) at 7:00 p.m. (NST) for a Zoom Webinar, for those interested in learning more about the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program. The session will be hosted by NLESD staff and the administration of Holy Heart High School, where families will be able to access details, ask questions, and evaluate the first for their young learner. The link will be available from the school’s website in the days leading up to the session.

The IB Program is provincially sponsored by the District and any student in the province may apply to attend. The District's IB Program is hosted at Holy Heart of Mary High School in St. John’s and students who enroll are required to attend in person at that school.

The IB Program aims to educate students through a comprehensive curriculum to become creative, critical thinkers, effective communicators, and globally-aware citizens. The Program offers high quality international education to a worldwide community of schools and is recognized as such by post-secondary institutions. There are more than 900,000 IB students in over 140 countries. Complete information on the District’s IB Program is available here: http://www.holyheart.ca/ib/
