DP Curriculum

The IB Diploma Programme (DP) is an assessed programme for students aged 16-19 that leads to the award of an IB Diploma. It is an academically challenging and balanced programme of education that is respected by leading universities around the world. The aim of the DP is to develop self-motivated, life-long learners who are internationally minded and who care about our world, its cultures and its communities.
