The International Business and Technology (IBT) program is a business and technology program available in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon, Ontario, Canada, and is available to all students in these cities. The programs include a senior-public (middle school) or high school education enriched with business and technology courses which include student business ventures (Grade 10 Business), accounting, marketing, computer engineering, computer science and flexography (Flexography available at Gordon Graydon only). Although this program provides more enriched learning, it will not necessarily help students get into universities.
Locations
As of March 2011 the International Business and Technology program is available at 3 Peel schools: Allan A. Martin Senior Public School, Gordon Graydon Memorial Secondary School (www.IBTGraydon.com), and North Park Secondary School and centennial senior public school for grades 6 to 8 Flexography is only available at Gordon Graydon Memorial Secondary School. Students can select to enroll in a separate laptop only program where they will work with fellow students with laptops. These classrooms offer more learning with computers. These laptop students would be only split up for classes that do not require the use of a laptop, such as math, arts, gym etc. Laptops can also be used by non-laptop registered students, on non-laptop classes(pending teacher's approval).It builds on the curriculum by providing students with a challenging program in all academic areas.
IBT Bussing
IBT Busing is available at all 3 schools. Because many students commute across town for the IBT program, the IBT Bussing Committee, composed of parents from both schools, contracts a bussing company to provide transportation to students. However, students must pay a variable substantial fee (generally over $1 000.00 per year) for the service and must be enrolled in the IBT program. Furthermore, pick up times can be as early as 6:00 am and stops may be up to 1 km in walking distance.
