Baccalaureate program report The Upper Canada District School Board’s international baccalaureate program is proving very suc- cessful. District trustees received a highlights report on the program during their March 23 regular meeting. Superintendent of schools David Coombs explained that the program offered in the district, through Brockville Collegiate Institute, has international recognition for its emphasis on global issues and extra content beyond what is required for a high school diploma, under the Ontario Secondary School Graduation Diploma guidelines. Ontario school districts are allowed to offer the baccalaureate program as an enhanced option in addition to the required secondary school curriculum. – Gregg Chamberlain
