Does a Diploma Program student have to give up sports and extra-curriculars?
No! The goal of IB is to encourage well-rounded students. Diploma students have also been all-parish football, basketball, volleyball, and soccer players, active members of the choral and instrumental music programs, and leaders of school clubs and activities. Since its inception, the president of the Student Council has been a Diploma student. The program does make time demands that encourage students to develop excellent time management and study skills. The bottom line is that the Diploma program will require students to use time wisely as well as to make judicious choices about their out-of-school time.
