International Baccalaureate Programme
 The grade 10 preparatory year for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme
began in the 2008-2009 school year at Charlottetown Rural
High School and at Colonel Gray High School.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a challenging two-year
curriculum, primarily aimed at students aged 16-19. It leads to a qualification
that is widely recognized by the world's leading universities. Students learn
more than a collection of facts. The Diploma Programme prepares students for
university and encourages them to: ask challenging questions, learn how to
learn, develop a strong sense of their own identity and culture, develop the
ability to communicate with and understand people from other countries and
cultures. For more information visit
