The IB course is significantly more challenging than an honors course, both in content and assessment. Course assessment is prescribed and graded by international examiners. IB courses may earn college credit for students and, therefore, are taught and paced at a more advanced level than all other high school classes.
If you are an in-district transfer, starting in January of the 9th grade year, an “In-District Attendance Waiver Application” may be requested at the student’s junior high. The request needs to be completed and returned to the Office of Student Services. The waiver requests permission to attend Inglemoor. The out-of-district student must initiate the process by seeking an attendance variance from the home school district. It must be filled out according to that district’s requirements and sent to Northshore School District Office of Student Services.
Many IB students successfully complete the IB Program as well as participate in sports and activities. An IB student will find it necessary to study at least two to three hours daily for class preparation. For the active student, time management will be crucial.
Yes, if the student has enough time and room in their schedule.
The full diploma fee is between $800 and $900. Funding through a federal program reimburses 90% of the cost of exams for eligible students.
We make every effort to accommodate all interested students. Some students may be required to take additional courses during the summer in order to prepare for the IB Program.
Students are required to fill out an “IB Statement Interest” in the 9th grade. The program is open to all students who wish to step up to the challenge. The IB Coordinators monitor the progress of all IB students and will meet with students that struggle academically to discuss their course of study.
We encourage all interested students to consider the full IB Diploma because of its unique structure and preparation for a solid foundation in all areas of knowledge. However, this is not a requirement and a student may enroll in one or more IB courses.
While we cannot require the fees for assessment, we strongly encourage every IB student to participate in this aspect of the program.

Six IB classes, TOK, Extended Essay, Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) Hours: 150 CAS hours are earned during the 11th and 12th grade years.
IB Certificate of Merit:
IB Certificate Student:
Students must fill out an application in February of 8th grade to participate in 9th grade pre-IB courses at Inglemoor High School. The “Pre-IB Statement of Interest” is available at each Northshore School District middle school, from the IB office at Inglemoor High School, or on the Inglemoor website. Test scores are not used for IB participation. Preference is given to students who have at least a 3.2 GPA. We recognize that many capable students have not performed well enough up to this point and that their grades may not reflect ability. An interview with the student, parents, and the IB Coordinator at Inglemoor High School may be required for any student who is interested in IB with less than a 3.2 GPA.

Updated September 21: This weekend, the District servers were the subject of a cyber attack. Out of an abundance of caution, we have shut down many systems. At this time, we do not feel that student, family or staff data has been compromised.
We are working with law enforcement and industry experts to remedy the situation as quickly as possible. However, we expect some service disruptions to last into the coming week, including StudentVue and ParentVue.
