I Think, Therfore IB
NHHS's International Baccalaureate Diploma Program
The IB Diploma Program is an intellectually-rich, well-rounded two-year course of study for juniors and seniors that is built around three core experiences:
- Theory of Knowledge, a college-level seminar
- Creativity, Action, and Service, a student-designed community service project; and
- Extended Essay, a research project
IB Diploma Candidates also pursue college-level work in six subjects: English, a second language, history, math, science, and an elective.
IB classes are open to all juniors and seniors, not just those in the full Diploma Program. Like AP, IB classes are recognized by colleges and universities as excellent preparation for higher education. Successful completion of AP and IB courses is usually rewarded with course credit or used for placement.
