Special considerations

  • 12 graders are accepted but may not be eligible for the IB Diploma program because the program requires two years of IB related coursework. Exceptions are if the student is entering with coursework from another IB school.
  • 11 graders must have Arabic courses in their previous transcripts and they will be evaluated by the school through their coursework and admission results for whether they qualify for the 2-year IB Diploma program.
