The American Council on Education (ACE) recently conducted a thorough review of International Baccalaureate (IB) Standard Level (SL) subjects and now formally endorses their eligibility for university credit at leading higher education institutions across the United States.
IB Higher Level (HL) subjects have historically already allowed IB Diploma Programme (DP) graduates to receive college credit for their high school achievements, and the addition of SL subjects to ACE's college credit endorsement further underscores the value of an IB education.
Not only is an IB Diploma viewed as one of the most rigorous and highly valued high school qualifications by university admissions departments: it's also a great way for students to get a head start on their college and university credit requirements; saving money and allowing them to complete a higher education degree program even faster.
Further adding to the inherent value of the IB Diploma is Aoba-Japan International School's Online IB Diploma Programme (Online IBDP).
Offered 100% online at a reduced tuition fee to students residing throughout the Asia Pacific region, Aoba's Online IBDP is the result of an innovative pilot project developed in partnership with the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) and allows students to achieve the same globally recognised IB Diploma while receiving live, personalised instruction and interacting with international students from all over the world.
