About

The IBDP program is a tough two-year rigorous academic program for 11th and 12th graders. The program is starting to become more popular and well-known in more schools around the world. Almost all the time, students do IBDP year 1 in grade 11 and IBDP year 2 in grade 12. All participants will do six courses of their choice along with three extra required courses, the program will result in final assignments submitted to the IB and exams taken in all six chosen courses. If the student is successful in the program, then he/she will receive the IB Diploma upon high school graduation. To find out more about the IB Diploma Program, please go to the official website as I don't have all the answers: https://www.ibo.org/programmes/diploma-programme/ I am a high school student that just finished 11th grade, which means I finished my first year of full IB, I still have one more year to go. However, if I cumulate together all my experiences in this first year of IB, there have been a lot of ups and downs. This is why in this series, I want to talk to you guys all about my experiences and advice to you guys on the first year of IB. If you are going into the IB program a few years later or have already done the IB, you are still welcome to join, however, this series is specifically targeting towards those that are going into 11th grade and starting their IB Diploma program year 1. This series will cumulate into three sessions. Please see below as to the detailed plans on what we will do for each session. I will not be able to answer all your questions or give the full experience of IB, because I simply have not completed all two years, only one year. However, I can give to the best of my ability and give as much advice and answers as possible. Hope to see y'all join :))))))
