INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB) DIPLOMA
The IB Diploma Program is a comprehensive and challenging pre-university course that demands the best from both motivated students and teachers. The two-year curriculum covers a wide range of academic subjects. IB Diploma Program graduates are welcomed by the world’s leading universities.
The Benefits of the IB Diploma Program
Universities recognize the outstanding qualities of IB Diploma Program students. Typically diploma holders are ready to debate real-world issues from an international perspective and to provide leadership and support in the local and global community. They demonstrate a capacity for in-depth study while maintaining a broad perspective of the different subject areas. They are able to ask challenging questions but also know how to research a topic and express their opinion. They have a strong sense of their own culture and identity, as well as the ability to communicate in two or more languages with people who have a different perspective of the world.
The curriculum contains six subject groups
