One School, Two Diplomas: Options for TIS Students

All students who attend TIS are enrolled in the Alberta High School Diploma programme. Students who take the Full IB Diploma Programme and are in good academic standing may be exempted from meeting Alberta graduation requirements. With this in mind, four high school options are available to TIS students:

Both the Alberta and IB courses are delivered concurrently, so students who choose one of the IB options may earn credit towards both diplomas.

Student Eligibility and Prerequisites for the Full IBDP
Since the IB Diploma Programme is a rigorous academic programme, students must meet certain eligibility requirements in their Grade 10 year before they can enroll. The goal is student success, so TIS strives to assist students in choosing the option that provides the greatest opportunity for them. Students must demonstrate the aptitude, work ethic and previous academic results before they will be considered for admission into the IBDP. These requirements are listed below.

Students make the decision to enroll in the Full IBDP when registering for their Grade 11 courses. This usually takes place in April of their Grade 10 academic year.
