IBDP (FAQ)

a) What is the IB Diploma Program?
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program is an internationally recognized school leaving certificate awarded by the Geneva-based private foundation International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). The IBO is a not-for-profit educational non-profit organization founded in 1968 in Geneva. The IB Diploma Program is recommended by the world's leading universities. Essentially, during the two-year educational program, the students learn two foreign languages, knowledge of the natural sciences, networked thinking and socially committed action. Language courses, the completion of the subject Theory of Knowledge and participation in extracurricular activities as well as the writing of a scientific thesis on a freely selectable topic serve this purpose. The IB Diploma is a university entrance qualification with an international focus and gives graduates access to globally recognized universities.
