IB Diploma Programme

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) develops students who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge, and who flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally, and ethically. 

The IBDP is a two-year program of study awarding the internationally-recognized high school diploma to students that successfully complete all necessary components. The IBDP aims to develop well-rounded and globally-minded individuals that have great breadth and depth of knowledge, and flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally, and ethically.

Students may optionally begin two IBDP courses during their 10th grade year, and must commit to the IBDP by the middle of their 11th grade year. IBDP is favored by some universities during the admission process, and in some cases certain schools will also award one year of college credit to students who attain an IB diploma.
