IB Diploma Programme 

The IB Diploma Programme is a challenging two-year pre-university curriculum, primarily aimed at students aged 16 to 19. It leads to a qualification that is widely recognized by the world’s leading universities. 

Students learn more than a body of knowledge. The Diploma Programme prepares students for university and encourages them to: 

• ask challenging questions

• learn how to learn

• develop a strong sense of their own identity and culture

• develop the ability to communicate with and understand people from other countries and cultures.
