Does the IB Diploma Programme satisfy my state or provincial requirements?
Students who succeed in receiving the IB Diploma will at the same time meet the local high school’s graduation requirements and, therefore, also receive the local high school diploma. Even if students fail to satisfy all of the IB Diploma requirements, they will generally have met the school’s requirements to receive the local high school diploma. In some cases, students who participate in the IB Diploma Programme will also fulfill the requirements of their state’s standards examinations or their province’s curriculum and examination. Please contact IB North America at the coordinates listed at the end of this FAQ for a list of which states or provinces have accepted the IB Diploma as having met their expectations.
