EXTENDED RESPONSE - Use resources linked below. You cannot Save and Return to the Application. We recommend typing your responses in a separate document and then pasting your responses once they are finalized.

The IB Learner Profile describes the sort of learner that both IB teachers and students strive to be, and an IB education gives us an opportunity to grow against those qualities. Reflecting on yourself over the last two years in high school in relation to the Learner Profile*, comment on two areas you feel you have grown in and how. Be sure to give specific examples to support your assertions.

*See Resource Link #1 Below

IB Diploma Programme students are highly motivated. Some of our students are motivated most by the IB mission statement* and the cultivation of international-mindedness, while others tend to think firstly of college readiness or our approaches to teaching and learning. What motivates you to apply for the IB Diploma Programme?

PARENT & STUDENT COMMITMENT

BELOW IS PROGRAM INFORMATION FOR PARENTS / GUARDIANS

PROGRAM INFORMATION FOR PARENTS

We request that you peruse the following documents:

ACADEMIC HONESTY

Parents and students, please acknowledge you have read and can commit to our policy on academic honesty.

Please see page 5 of our school handbook: http://phs.mesa.k12.co.us/UserFiles/Servers/Server_77991/File/Home/Dog%20Timer%2017-18.pdf
Please understand that IB students in violation of the academic honesty policy will be placed on probation, and repeat offenses constitute dismissal from the program.

Two Diplomas: D51 and IB

Parents and students, IB students will be working toward two diplomas. Please acknowledge the following:

We are a full-diploma program only, and students commit to a rigorous course of study that must include the core and six subject groups.
Pre-IB students will complete many of the D51 graduation requirements in their freshman and sophomore years; students are official diploma programme students in their junior and senior years.
A pre-IB schedule is somewhat prescriptive; in order to earn a D51 diploma and be ready for the IB diploma programme, our students must take certain pre-requisites.
Students must commit to taking course-end IB exams which will determine whether they receive their internationally-recognized IB diplomas. Testing is not optional, and there are fees attached (due the senior year). Those fees are comparable in price to AP fees and can be reduced if the student demonstrates financial need.

TRANSPORTATION

Parents and students, we recognize that transportation may be a concern. Many of our students carpool, take one of two IB-buses (with two drop-off/pick-up locations in GJ), take D51 buses, or ride the GVT.
