- Submission of the IB Application. (In non-editable pdf », or in editable Word doc » format.)
- Submission of a Portfolio: four pieces of work from different subject areas
- Submission of an Essay: a reflection of what the works chosen for the Portfolio show about you, as a learner and as a student
- Student Self-Evaluation
- Teacher recommendations: importance is placed on study habits, motivation, maturity, and critical thinking skills, as well as on class performance
- Review of Transcripts
- Non-ACS students will also be asked to sit an IB entrance exam
An Admissions Committee meets to review each candidate’s application, and recommends entrance into the IB program as either a Full Diploma Candidate, a Certificate Candidate, or a 13th year student.
A Personal Interview with the student and his/her parent(s) is required upon acceptance into the Full Diploma Program.
