ISB offers a high-quality international education for over 50 years. As well as its academic accomplishments, ISB supports students to acquire skills and independent study habits which will benefit them throughout their lives. Our students graduate as analytical, creative thinkers with self-discipline and skills to succeed in university and the workplace.
In the Pre-University, or Pre-U, section of the school Year 12 and 13 students follow the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, administered by the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO). The IBO is a gold-standard, worldwide organization with 1.3 million students in 4,500 schools, ranged over 147 countries taking over 600,000 examinations each year.
At ISB our IBDP results are excellent and students travel all over the world to their first choice universities.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a 2-year programme for Year 12 and Year 13 students. It is academically and personally challenging which develops a breadth of knowledge and skills. ISB graduates gain entry to top universities all over the world, studying a wide range of degrees and preparing for a myriad of careers.
The IB Diploma Programme has a number of advantages over A Levels – students study a broader range of subjects, selecting one subject from each group. Students are also required to develop their critical thinking skills through the study of Theory of Knowledge. All Diploma students are expected to complete a piece of academic research known as the Extended Essay – this essay helps students to develop skills that they will need at university. Finally, all IB Diploma Programme students complete Creative Active Service (CAS) – meaning all students have the opportunity to engage in extra-curricular activities, leadership events and community service projects as part of their course.
