WHY BRANKSOME HALLExplore all that Branksome has to offer. Learn about our school, join one of our events or take a virtual tour.
Every Branksome Hall student from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 benefits from the IB curriculum. Cultivating curiosity, creative and critical thinking, and facilitating regular assessments and feedback, the IB offers unparalleled university preparation.
Based on their post-secondary goals, students will choose to enter one of two Diploma program options. We believe choice offers agency and control, and a personalized course selection plays to each student’s unique strengths and assets.
Our IB Advantage
The Primary Years Programme is designed to nurture a lifelong love of learning. Students are challenged to think critically, research deeply and develop globally minded perspectives on a broad range of issues.
The Middle Years Programme focuses on the development of the whole girl. Students use inquiry to discover content and knowledge, as well as to explore real-world applications, create new meaning and solve problems.
An emphasis on international-mindedness and intercultural understanding, providing context for young women to lead in a complex, interdisciplinary, globally connected adult world.

She leads on the water and in the community. Duke is just the beginning! 🚣♀️
For Jaime TAYLOR`25, discipline is the foundation for success. By sunrise, she could be found on the water with Branksome Hall’s Rowing team; by mid-morning, she led initiatives as the 2024–25 Clubs Prefect. Now at Duke University, she’s preparing to take that same drive into NCAA rowing and a degree in Economics. With big goals ahead, like breaking into investment banking, she feels her rich experience at Branksome has set a powerful foundation for success. 💚
