International Baccalaureate

The International Baccalaureate Program is offered only in high school.

Credit and placement will be awarded to students with adequate International Baccalaureate (IB) examination scores in areas comparable to the Harper curriculum. The granting of credit and/or advanced placement will be determined following the guidelines listed in the Credit by Examination chart.

Follow these steps for the IB Program:

1200 W. Algonquin Rd.

Palatine, IL 60067

Step 3. Once the official transcript is received by the College, course credits will automatically be applied based on the standards of the International Baccalaureate Guidelines below. IB Exams, whether passed or not, do not affect a student's grade point average.
