and AP and many parents ask what is the difference between the
program.

basis and students can choose in which courses they will write the
AP exam IB is a complete program and includes extracurricular
components. Students must write IB exams for all their subjectsIn

The structure of the Program is illustrated in the graphic with
the student at the centre. The Learner Profile (the Why), Areas of
Interaction and ATPL (the How) and the subject groups (the What)
surround the centerThe IB program curriculum requirements provide
for a challenging and well rounded education. Students must take 6
subjects over the course of the 2 year program. While diploma
requirements do restrict course choice, because of the size of our
program we can offer a variety of course options.The Extended Essay
is an additional requirement completed outside of class. The
Extended Essay prepares students for the demands of university
research and writing.The Approaches to Learning and ToK course
provide students with the skills and attitudes to become
independent and life long learners. CAS requirements provide
students opportunities for extracurricular and service which
fosters the holistic development of students, including physical,
emotional and character development. Turner Fenton has tremendous
number of teams and clubs which students can participate in and put
towards their CAS hours10
