Hi! The Career Program (CP) and the Diploma Program (DP) each have unique benefits depending on your goals and interests.
Career Program (CP): This program is designed for students who wish to explore specific careers and gain practical skills that can help them enter the workforce directly after graduation. Benefits include:
– Hands-on learning through internships or work placements.
– Development of job-ready skills that employers look for.
– Opportunities to earn industry certifications.
– A focus on real-world applications that can enhance your resume.
Diploma Program (DP): The IB Diploma Program is more academically rigorous and is for students planning to pursue higher education. Benefits include:
– A strong emphasis on critical thinking and research skills.
– The opportunity to earn the internationally recognized IB diploma, which is a valuable credential for college admissions.
– A broad and holistic educational experience with a focus on creativity, activity, and service (CAS), as well as an extended essay and Theory of Knowledge (TOK) component.
– Exposure to a global perspective, which is beneficial in today’s interconnected world.
As for the advisory core, it typically involves guidance from teachers or counselors who can help you navigate your educational path, set goals, and plan for your future – whether in career or academics. This support can be invaluable in helping you decide the best fit for your ambitions.
Ultimately, consider what your long-term goals are. If you’re leaning toward immediate career readiness, CP might be the way to go. If you see yourself in higher education, DP could be a better fit. Good luck with your decision!
