What are Program Enhancements?
Community connections are key for success in high school (Shumow, 2). Students have the opportunity to experience learning outside of the classroom, in order to enhance the curriculum program. Through close communication with classroom teachers, field trips and course enhancements are planned that benefit student engagement, and expand their experience of learning. In order for student voice to be heard in choosing experiences that will benefit them, IBT also has a student executive, that meets regularly to give feedback. As well, yearly surveys go out to parents to see which enhancements they feel will benefit their child the most.
