IB CERTIFICATE

Students may opt to receive an IB certificate as opposed to receiving the IB Diploma.  This allows students who take any number of IB courses to receive, if successful, a certificate of proof that the students have passed the IB course(s). Certificate students may not register to submit externally assessed Theory of Knowledge coursework or the Extended Essay.  Many colleges recognize the certificate as a criterion to be exempt from college coursework at the freshman level.
