Studiespesialisering med forberedende International Baccalaureate er et tilbud for deg som vil prøve ut hvordan det er å ha undervisning på engelsk. Dette er en god forberedelse til IB Diploma Programme. Vi følger de norske læreplanene, men naturfag og samfunnsfag blir undervist på engelsk. Mange av lærerne som underviser i klassen underviser også på IB.

Etter vg1 kan du søke deg videre til IB vg2 eller velge å gå videre på vg 2 Studiespesialisering. Elever fra pre-IB har ikke fortrinnsrett til IB vg2.

Studiespesialisering med forberedende International Baccalaureate er et eget alternativ når du søker i VIGO. For vg1 skal du bare søke gjennom VIGO, det er ikke eget søknadsskjema som skal sendes til skolen.
