IB Program
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program is a challenging, comprehensive, advanced college preparatory program. Students working in the IB Program are highly motivated and demonstrate an aptitude for in depth learning across the curriculum. IB Diploma Students choose six subjects, one from each of the major academic disciplines offered at Prout. They are also enrolled in a Theory of Knowledge course, write an original extended essay on an in-depth study, and complete a “Creativity, Action and Service” requirement. Students may also elect individual IB courses for certificate recognition. Universities recognize the rigor of the IB Program and the outstanding achievements of its students. Most universities offer advanced standing and college credit for successful completion of IB courses.
