Are you considering just taking a couple IB classes instead of going for the whole diploma?

We offer both the full diploma program with its six classes and three core elements over a two-year time period. We also offer IB classes over the course of two years for students who would like to try a rigorous curriculum but not participate in the full diploma. This program is called the IB Certificate program. MHS encourages all students to challenge themselves with a rigorous curriculum.

Are you curious about  the Extended Essay entails?

The Extended Essay is one of three core components required by IB for students in the full diploma program. Along with The Theory of Knowledge and Creativity, Action, Service, students must write a 400 word or less researched essay on a favorite topic over the course of two years.
