Why do IB students not have transportation provided? Only students who live within our area are transported. No WRDSB Magnet Programs have transportation. All other students must find their own way to and from school. An IB directory is available to find other families who live near you for car pooling purposes, but it is up to parents to arrange those carpools.
Why do IB students have to pay fees to attend the program? The WRDSB has designated the IB program as an enhanced program. IBO charges fees to administer exams and the WRDSB passes those fees onto students. The program must be run on a cost recovery model.
What is the difference between the Full Diploma Program and the Partial Program? Full Diploma requires 6 courses (English, History or Psych, Biology or Chem, a Language, Math and one elective) plus TOK, EE and CAS (central elements). Single Course Certificates are offered to students who do not want the FD. A minimum of 2 courses is required. Students do not complete the central elements.
What is CAS? This stands for Creativity, Activity and Service. Students must complete a CAS portfolio by April of Grade 12, providing evidence that they have been actively involved in creative pursuits, athletic activities and community service. We will introduce students to the requirements at the end of Grade 10. CAS is one of the central elements of the FD program.
What is EE? EE stands for Extended Essay. In grade 11 and early grade 12, Full Diploma students will write an essay of 3600 to 4000 words on a topic of their choosing. EE is another of the central elements.
What is TOK? This stands for Theory of Knowledge and is the 3rdof the central elements. FD students must complete a course in TOK, in which they learn and practice critical thinking skills across all disciplines. A presentation and an essay are a part of the Assessment for IB.
