Years 12-13
In Years 12 and 13 all students study the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), which culminates in externally assessed examinations at the end of Year 13. The IBDP is recognized throughout the world and is designed specifically for international students, providing a broad and balanced programme of study.
Students take 6 subjects: 3 Higher level (HL) and 3 Standard Level (SL). They also study Theory of Knowledge (TOK), complete a 4000 word Extended Essay and a 150 hour CAS (Creativity, Action, Service) programme. Students choose one subject from groups 1 to 5 and a further subject from group 6 or another subject from group 1 to 5.

Assessment: All subjects are graded from 1-7 with up to 3 bonus points awarded for the Extended Essay and TOK. The maximum score is 45 and the minimum Diploma pass mark is 24 (conditions apply). The final grade is based on a mixture of internal assessment and externally-assessed examinations.
(Subjects offered in Year 10-13 are dependent upon timetabling and class numbers)
The IB diploma is a passport to higher education. Universities around the world welcome the unique characteristics of IB Diploma Programme students and recognize the way in which the programme helps to prepare students for university level education. IB students routinely gain admission to some of the best known universities in the world. Most of these institutions have established recognition policies for the IB diploma.
