Grade 9 & 10 - Pre-IB Programming
To prepare students for the rigours of the IB Programme, students take their compulsory courses in Grades 9 and 10 at ‘Pre-IB’ level. The Pre-IB courses in Grades 9 and 10 follow the same semester schedule as other Grade 9 and 10 classes. To accommodate the additional material in the IB curriculum, Grade 9 and 10 Pre-IB courses move through the Ontario Curriculum at an accelerated pace and incorporate extra units and activities specific to IB: for example, adding units to the Grade 9 and 10 courses, completing Grade 11 Ontario courses in the Grade 10 year, etc.
Sample Grade 9 & 10 Timetables

* enriched courses that contain units from the next level of course
i.e., Math 9 covers some content from the Ontario Grade 10 math curriculum
Standardized Final Examinations and Accommodations
All TDSB courses will ensure students requiring accommodations as outlined in Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are provided. Within the IB programme, evaluations are set and regulated by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). During such evaluations, IEP accommodations may or may not be permitted by the IBO.
While requests can be made to the IBO by the school, ultimately, the IBO determines the accommodations allowed for evaluation purposes. The IBO will look at the IEP, Psychoeducational Assessment and/or medical documentation and will determine which accommodations may be permitted.
This may include 25% additional time, private space, computer options, etc.
