International Baccalaureate Program Information Evening

The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is student-centred with a focus on developing intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills for students who live, learn and work in a rapidly changing world. The program emphasizes critical, compassionate thinking, community involvement and intercultural understanding. It is founded on international standards and assessment. Students who complete the program earn both an Ontario Secondary School Diploma and an IB Diploma.

A message from our High School Colleagues - 

Emily Carr Secondary School in partnership with Woodbridge College and Tommy Douglas S.S., presents a PATHWAYS TO OPPORTUNITY evening taking place on Thursday, November 10th from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm.  This is an extremely well attended event, we have many students and their families from our Family of Schools attend.

This is an opportunity for students and their parents/guardians to meet with representatives from over 50 universities and colleges, as well as numerous other post-secondary institutions, in order to learn more about the different programs they offer. 

This event will help your students reflect upon their Individual Pathway Plan.  A list of current confirmed attendees can be found on the attached poster. Hard copies of the poster were provided to you at our TOKTHS event. 

We look forward to seeing students and families from Pine Grove P.S. attend.
