Application page 4/10 IB AND OSSD DIPLOMA Participation in the IB Diploma Programme will in no way prejudice a student’s ability to obtain an Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Courses studied in order to fulfill the requirements of the IB Diploma Programme also earn credits towards an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). As a result, upon successful completion of the Diploma Programme, students will receive a diploma from the International Baccalaureate Organisation, issued from Geneva, Switzerland and recognized worldwide, as well as the OSSD diploma. ADMISSION POLICY: While admission to the IB Diploma Programme is contingent on the success of the application, if you are applying from one of our associate schools then you will be admitted to Michael Power • St. Joseph High School. Students applying from other than our associate schools and who are not admitted to the IB Diploma Programme, will be redirected to their local Catholic High School or be enrolled on our waiting list for regular admission to Michael Power • St. Joseph High School. Placement on the waiting list does not guarantee admission to Michael Power • St. Joseph High School. Students accepted into the IB Programme from non-associate schools will be redirected to their local secondary school should they withdraw from the programme prior to the start of Year 1 (Grade 11). NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE The Admission Committee will consider each application carefully. Students may be called for an interview. The decision regarding admission will be communicated to parents by mail. Please do not phone the school to request acceptance information. FEES Most of the costs related to the IB Programme will be incurred by the Toronto Catholic District School Board. Additional fees of $1200 for the IB Diploma Programme will be paid by the parents/guardian of the student. The fees will be paid in three non-refundable increments of $300.00 (due in March of grade 8 with student registration), $400.00 (due in February of grade 9) and $500.00 (due in February of grade 10 with option sheet). While per capita fees will be expected from students, a bursary program has been established for students needing financial assistance. _______________________ Parent/ Guardian Signature Date _______________________ Student Signature Date Please remember to complete the online registration process found on the inside back cover of this booklet.
