International Baccalaureate

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, often referred to as IB, is a world-wide, rigorous, pre-university course of studies, leading to examinations and the awarding of the IB Diploma. With an international focus, the comprehensive two-year curriculum (junior and senior years) is designed to meet the needs of highly motivated secondary school students between the ages of 16 and 19. Students completing the full program earn both the internationally recognized IB Diploma and the diploma of their respective high school.
