The IB and AISB
 The
American International School of Budapest is proud to be the first
international school in Eastern Europe to be officially approved
and authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization
to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. In
the fall of 2007, AISB will enter its fifteenth year of offering
diploma and certificate courses. The IB has great value for college-bound
students taking individual subjects (certificates similar to Advanced
Placement) and to those taking the full program (diploma). North
American and other universities often award college credits for
scores of 5 and higher in specific subjects.
 The
IB curriculum can be also taken for AISB credit toward the AISB
diploma. These courses are open to any interested students who
have demonstrated the ability to be successful in a demanding
academic setting. The IB courses are rigorous; our guidance
counselor and IB coordinator will advise parents and students
on appropriate course selections. Students and parents should
be aware that they will be required to pay additional IB fees
to cover examination administration during their senior year.
