We achieve this through a combination of academic excellence, giving students more say in their curriculum, our focus on the skills and habits they will need to thrive after BSB, and the best possible personal, social and academic support for every one of our students.

How does IBDP programme work?
The IBDP is an international and enquiry-based programme that takes students onto a journey of becoming academically independent learners. IBDP’s mission is “to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments, and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment” (IBO, 2019).
The Diploma Programme (DP) curriculum is made up of six subject groups and the DP core. Through the Diploma Programme (DP) core, students reflect on the nature of knowledge (Theory of Knowledge - TOK), complete independent research (Extended Essay - EE) and undertake a project that often involves community service (Creativity, Activity, Service - CAS).
There are different courses within each subject group which students must choose from, however, in general, all IBDP students will study two languages, one science, one maths and one humanistic subject.
Alternatively, a candidates may substitute a course from the Arts subject group for a course in either the Language and literature, Language acquisition, or Individuals and societies subject groups.
Out of six subjects they choose for their IB Diploma, three of those subjects must be studied at the Higher Level (HL) and three at the Standard Level (SL).
