REMSS Pre-IB Program
The REMSS Pre-IB Program, in Grades 9 and 10, is an academic program that is designed to prepare students for the challenges of the IB Diploma Programme. While the curriculum for Pre-IB 9 and 10 is the same as the BC Ministry curriculum, there is an additional focus on subject knowledge and skills required for success in the IB. It is highly advised that students who would like to pursue the IB Diploma in Grade 11 apply for the Pre-IB program. Admission to the REMSS Pre-IB Program is open to all students who reside in the REMSS catchment area.

Successful IB Diploma candidates are eligible for advanced credit, advanced placement and preferred admission in the world’s leading universities. IB Diploma candidates are also awarded university transfer credits in most universities upon successful completion of their coursework in IB. In Langley, the International Baccalaureate Programme is a District Choice Program offered at R.E. Mountain Secondary School and is open to all residents of Langley.
The International Baccalaureate Organization has prepared a “What is IB?” brochure that explains the rationale behind the program, the expectations of the program and the benefits that students can expect to gain.
