IB Career-related Program

The IB Career-related Program in 11th and 12th Grades

The IB Career-related Program (CP) at DIS is a flexible yet rigorous framework of international education that incorporates the values of the IB into a unique programme addressing the needs of students engaged in career-related education. It helps students to prepare for effective participation in life, fostering attitudes and habits of mind that allow them to become lifelong learners and to get involved in learning that develops their capacity and will to make a positive difference. The CP combines highly regarded and internationally recognized courses from the IB Diploma Programme (DP) with a unique CP core and an approved career-related study. To complete the IB CP, students must take three DP courses (i.e., one each from English, mathematics, and individuals and societies), complete all CP core components (i.e., personal and professional skills; reflective project; and service learning), and complete a career-related study. Students who complete the IB CP go on to higher education, engage in apprenticeships, or directly employment with their newfound professional and personal skills.

Dallas International School is a Candidate School* for the IB Middle Years Program (MYP) and Career-related Program (CP). Already authorized as an IB World School for the Diploma Program (DP), this school is pursuing further accreditation for the MYP and CP. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that Dallas International School believes is important for our students.
