IB Diploma/Prep
Thank you for your interest in applying to the IB Diploma/Diploma Prep Program at Senn High School!
Admission to all Senn High School programs is governed by the GoCPS application process (www.go.cps.edu). Applications for the 2020-21 school year are open from October 12, 2020 to December 11, 2020
*Senn is a wall to wall IB High School, thus all students will participate in the IB Middle Years Programme in 9th and 10th grade, and have access to college-level IB courses in 11th and 12th grades.
To learn more about the IB Programme, please see IB Information
Since you will only receive one offer, RANK US AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST to help ensure an offer to Senn's IB Programme.
**Even if you are highly qualified, you will NOT receive an offer if you do not rank us high enough on your list of schools.**
Minimum qualifications include 24% each on the NWEA Reading and Math (or combined 48% for students with IEP), a minimum 7th grade GPA of 2.5, and attendance at an IB information session.
SCREENING REQUIREMENT
