Through the DP, schools are able to develop students who:
have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge
flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically
study at least two languages
excel in traditional academic subjects
explore the nature of knowledge through the programme’s unique theory of knowledge course.
While attending the Diploma Program at PA, students must complete a CAS (Creativity, activity, service) project. Above is a video of our 2025 class exhibition!
