Which IB boards do schools in the USA use?

  • IB Diploma Programme (DP)

    Offered by 932 US schools according to ibo.org. Students take six subjects, usually three at Higher Level and three at Standard Level, plus Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay and CAS. Many US schools let students take individual DP courses without the full Diploma.

  • IB Middle Years Programme (MYP)

    Offered by 768 US schools according to ibo.org, often as a pathway into the DP in the same district or school. The Career-related Programme (CP), offered by 202 US schools, includes some DP courses that we can also tutor.

Full calendar by board on our exam dates page.
SessionWhat applies in the USA
May sessionThe session taken by US IB World Schools. Results are released on the candidate website from 12.00 GMT on 6 July, which is 8am Eastern Daylight Time and 5am Pacific.
November sessionUsed mainly by southern-hemisphere schools and for retakes. The IB says November results are issued to schools on 16 December.

Where do students in the USA sit IB exams?

There is no private-candidate route to the IB Diploma. Students must be registered by an IB World School for each exam session, through the school's DP coordinator.

Students who want to retake a subject can do so in a later session at an IB World School that offers the Diploma, but schools are not obliged to accept retake candidates. Speak to your own coordinator first.

Use the IB's 'find an IB World School' directory to confirm which programmes a school is authorised to teach.

How many IB schools are there in the USA?

According to the IB's country page for the United States, checked on 21 October 2026, 1,895 IB World Schools in the US offer one or more IB programmes. The Diploma Programme is offered by 932 of them, the MYP by 768, the PYP by 641 and the Career-related Programme by 202. There has been an IB World School in the US since 1971.

With so many schools, IA deadlines and mock exams vary widely, so we build each student's plan around their own school's calendar.

Can you help with IB internal assessments and the Extended Essay?

Yes. Tutors help students understand the assessment criteria, choose a workable research question, plan their method and improve their own drafts. Under the IB's academic integrity rules the work must be the student's own, so we guide and give feedback but never write any part of an IA or Extended Essay.

Which IB subjects do we teach students in the USA?

Each subject page lists the syllabus codes, papers and topics we cover.

What times are online IB classes in the USA?

US students often combine IB courses with the SAT or ACT and, at some schools, AP exams, and US colleges set their own policies on credit for IB Higher Level scores. Check each college's published IB credit policy.

Classes are scheduled in your local time zone, from Eastern to Pacific, usually after school and at weekends. Our tutors are in Pakistan, so early-morning and weekend slots in the US are often the easiest to book.

We teach online only. Parents can join any lesson.
