Riverside Secondary School is a proud International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, authorized to offer the Diploma Programme. IB World Schools share a common philosophy - a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education - that we believe is important for our students.
Our IB-trained educators have developed enhanced curriculum to prepare students in our Grade 9 & 10 Preparatory Program for the critical thinking and rigour of the Grade 11 & 12 IB Diploma Programme. Four courses are being offered at the Preparatory level in Grades 9 & 10: English, Math, Science and French. Students enrolled in the program will take all four of these courses plus requirements for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). ​
