Participating in the IBDP yields many tangible and intangible benefits. Please see the page Why IB? to learn more.

There is no such thing as a regular class at Walden! All our courses and programs are designed to challenge all students in an engaging, nurturing, and supportive environment. As a school, we work together to help all students to become their best selves. See Support for Walden IBDP for the many ways you will be supported in the IBDP.

Walden weighs IB classes more than other classes

Something about GPA weighing for IB classes, add policy

Every Walden student participates in the IBDP through the CAS Project, a Walden graduation requirement. All Walden 11th and 12th graders are eligible to take IBDP courses, either as Diploma candidates, Course certificate candidates, or for Walden credit only.

For more details, about eligibility, consult p. of the Walden IB Handbook, contact the IB Coordinator at Walden, or apply for the program here.

The Walden IBDP both meets and exceeds state Common Core standards as well as state graduation requirements. All Walden curricula are aligned to fulfill the Walden School mission, IB approaches to teaching and learning, and Utah State standards and requirements.
