Aden Bowman Collegiate
and
Bedford Road Collegiate
are International Baccalaureate (IB) World Schools that share a common philosophy: a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education.
The IB Diploma Programme (Grades 11 to 12) is designed for students aged 16 to 19 who are academically motivated and desire a rigorous curriculum, often as a preparation for post-secondary study. A student who completes the IB Diploma Programme will not only gain an enhanced set of organizational, writing, speaking and collaborative skills, but also will have an advantage for university, as the IB graduate is actively recruited by most universities in Canada, the United States and the world. Students who complete an IB diploma will also achieve a Saskatchewan high school diploma.
The IB Diploma Programme strives for excellence in preparing students for the 21st century. Saskatoon Public Schools values the fact that our community is very much part of the global consciousness. That global awareness — combined with scholarship and our values of tolerance, respect and compassion — fits perfectly with the International Baccalaureate organization's mission to encourage students to become active, well-rounded and service-oriented citizens of their local and global communities.
Program Highlights
Benefit from university recruitment, scholarships and advanced admission offers.

Who should consider IB?

It is important to be aware of the course options required to satisfy the prerequisites for the IB Diploma Programme.
IB preparatory courses offered at the grades 9 and 10 level provide appropriate programming in preparation for the diploma program.
Beginning in the 2022-23 school year
, new students entering the two-year IB Diploma Programme will be charged a fee of $2,000. Students not taking the diploma program will be charged an individual IB course fee of $300 per course. More information is available in the
