All IB exam fees must be paid in full by Nov. 1, 2021. If you cannot make the full payment by that time, you must contact Mr. Matt Schultz, NDA's IB coordinator, as soon as possible to work out a solution. Students will not be registered for exams until payment is received. If no payments have been made by Nov. 1, the fees go up substantially. There is no refund once students have signed up and paid for exams.
For ALL Course (junior or senior only taking some IB) Anticipated (junior Full IB) and Diploma (senior Full IB) Candidates, the fees are all the same. Please use the following chart.
