The International Baccalaureate (IB) Program, acclaimed internationally, was introduced at Holy Trinity Academy during the Fall of 1998. The program is designed for those students who are capable of a rigorous and enriched academic program. We are pleased, as Holy Trinity Academy is the first rural school in Alberta to be accredited with this prestigious program.

The IB program is aimed at educating the "whole child". This program not only prepares the students academically, but also prepares them socially and emotionally to be true leaders in society.

The program allows high school students to take some or all of the IB courses. A full IB diploma guarantees students access to most universities throughout the world. In addition, grade 12 IB courses are accepted for credit at many universities including: the University of Calgary, the University of Alberta, and the University of Lethbridge. The full diploma program consists of English, French, Mathematics, Biology, History and Physics. In addition to these six subjects, students in the full diploma program are also expected to take a course in the Theory of Knowledge, and they are also expected to complete a 4,000 word essay and do a specific number of community service hours.
