Diploma Programme, Grades 11–12
In Grades 11 and 12, independence and critical thinking skills gain even more focus. Students plan their own pathway, choosing from a range of courses in English, additional languages, humanities, mathematics and sciences, plus arts and elective options. School and University Counsellors and Learning Strategies teachers provide support every step of the way.

Pathway Options
Based on their post-secondary goals, students will choose to enter one of two Diploma program options. We believe choice offers agency and control, and a personalized course selection plays to each student’s unique strengths and assets.
The two pathways—the Full IB Diploma Programme or the Branksome Hall IB Select Program—share an emphasis on international mindedness, intercultural understanding and providing context for young women to develop valuable skills to lead in a complex, interdisciplinary, globally connected adult world. All Branksome students are IB students, and all courses are IB courses.
Full IB Diploma Programme
The full IB Diploma Programme is understood by selective universities as the most rigorous program offered at Branksome Hall. At Branksome, we believe in the value of a liberal arts education, as represented by the full Diploma Programme, to expose students to varied ways of knowing and thinking across the disciplines.

Branksome Hall IB Select Program
Students who decide to take the IB Select Program pathway will be exposed to varied ways of knowing and thinking, while experiencing a more personalized or a more discipline-focused pathway.

Assessment in the Diploma Programme
Students in Grades 11 and 12 will complete IB assessments that are marked or moderated externally against established, standardized criteria. It’s one reason Branksome Hall graduates are so highly sought-after by the world’s leading universities. And it’s why they often receive university credit for their IB Higher Level courses.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.*
*The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.
