Senior Scheduling
IB Coordinators will meet with students in January 2025 to finalize senior year schedules.
Cost of IB Diploma Path
There is a $140 fee per IB assessment. With IB Diploma students needing to take 7 IB assessments in their program path, we have created an IB Diploma package of $800 to cover all of the IB assessments for an IB Diploma student. All IB Diploma students and their families have been sent a bill for the cost of the assessments, including a two-year payment plan.
Questions? Reach out to IB coordinator, Sarah Riordan at sriordan@hse.k12.in.us.
