While there have been several studies to support Diploma Program as an established curriculum at the senior high school level, there has been little evidence that would support any particular curriculum at the junior high school level. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between external examination scores of International General Certificate of Secondary Education and those of Diploma Program. A purposive sample was drawn from high school students who attended a private international school in a major metropolitan city in Turkey (N = 250). Data were analyzed with a multiple regression approach. Statistically significant and relatively strong relationships were found between external examination scores, both in mathematics and science.ix, 69 leaves, tables, chartsEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessInternational schoolsInternational BaccalaureateDiploma ProgramInternational General Certificate of Secondary Educationmathematics educationscience educationLC1090 .Y34 2014International education.International baccalaureate.Thesis
