What is the IB?
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma is an internationally respected and recognised qualification. Success in the IB will ensure access to good universities throughout the world.
The IB is a two-year programme for students aged 16 and above preparing for university entry. As an international qualification students can follow university or career options within a global market. A two-year programme, designed for motivated, capable students who show an interest across a broad range of subjects.
What is special about the IB?
The IB Diploma makes sure that students do not specialise before they go to university. This means that students study six subjects, three at standard level and three at higher level. Students must choose a range of subjects, i.e. the objective of the IB is to encourage breadth as well as depth across the curriculum. In addition, every student must take part in a CAS (Creativity, Action and Service) programme which is awarded points and which contributes to the final mark achieved in the Diploma.
Why choose the IB
The IB Diploma is a very well established and highly regarded international qualification and students are choosing to study for the IB rather than other qualifications such as traditional British A-Levels.
