About
IB Diploma
Programme
The DP is a highly rigorous pre-university programme that allows for academic achievement and worthwhile exploration of students’ passions beyond the written curriculum. The DP is valued by universities across the globe and successful completion allows students to matriculate into university depending on their points score and application. In some instances, college credit may be awarded for successful completion of the Diploma Programme.
Students study six subjects from six subject groups. The subject groups can be found on the next few pages. Please note that students may opt to study an additional science or individuals and societies subject, instead of an Arts subject in Group 6. The suitability and acceptance into HL subjects should be carefully considered. The demands of HL subjects vary and students should ensure they align with their interests and aspirations.
