International Baccalaureate (IB) is a Grade 11 and 12 university preparation program recognized in over 140 countries, including universities in Ontario and Canada. Students concurrently study up to six challenging subjects that instill a global perspective with cross-cultural understanding. IB students learn through inquiry, and gain a sense of social responsibility, independence and critical-thinking skills.

Students and families can learn more about the IB program at the December 6 information session taking place at the HWDSB Education Centre at 6 p.m.

Deadline for applications is Friday December 1, 2023 - fantastic opportunity for Indigenous, self-identified Indigenous and Non-Indigenous youth (male, female, 2SLGBTQ+ and those with disabilities) aged 15-17.

We are seeking applicants to take part in the the Youth-to-Youth Truth and Reconciliation Experience (Y2Y) hosted by Honouring Indigenous Peoples.

Y2Y is a transformative program that immerses Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth in Indigenous culture while fostering connections with a diverse group of young people from across Canada. Together they engage in meaningful cultural exchanges, learn about Indigenous traditions, and deepen their understanding of Indigenous history and heritage.

This year’s event will be held March 24-30, 2024 at Zajac Ranch in Mission, B.C. Through activities, workshops, and interactive sessions, youth will be encouraged to embrace diversity, build relationships, and develop a greater appreciation for Indigenous perspectives and contributions. This experience serves as a catalyst for personal growth, intercultural learning, and fostering lasting connections.

The program is entirely free and includes travel to and from the event, accommodations, food and museum admission. Only 50 youth (25 Indigenous, 25 non-Indigenous) ages 15-17 will be chosen from across Canada.
