High School - DP
Preparing For a Lifelong Journey of Learning
The students in High School follow the Diploma Programme (DP) of the IB Organisation. We strive to bring our mission to life for our grade 11 through 12 students, so they have the academic skills and the social-emotional skills needed for success in college, university, or whichever path they choose to take in life as lifelong learners.
By providing a nurturing environment where each student is known and appreciated for who they are as an individual, we help them develop independence, an ability to reflect upon their learning, a willingness to take action, and gain a lifelong appreciation for others.
As an IB world school, the Diploma Programme (DP) is the culminating experience for students in the IB Programme, specifically designed for students aged 16 – 19. (DP) is an academically challenging and balanced programme of education with final examinations that prepares students for success at university and life beyond. It has been designed to address the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical well-being of students.
The philosophy of the (DP ) emphasizes high academic standards in the 6 mandatory areas of study: first and second languages, mathematics, humanities, science, and the arts. This academic quality is complemented by an emphasis on personal development in areas such as philosophy and social awareness.
We are proud to offer the prestigious International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, a program renowned for its academic rigor and global perspective. The IB Diploma Programme is acclaimed for being one of the finest college preparatory programs available.
