IB Programmes
The IB offers three interconnected programmes for school-age students. Each builds on the last and shares the IB's commitment to inquiry-based, internationally-minded education.
| Programme | Ages | Summary | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) | Ages 3–12 (Kindergarten to Grade 6) | An inquiry-based curriculum framework for young learners that develops curiosity, communication and international-mindedness. PYP is not subject-specific but organised around transdisciplinary themes. The PYP Exhibition in Grade 6 is the culminating assessment where students independently investigate a real-world issue. | Internal assessment only. No external IB examinations at PYP stage. Schools assess students through portfolio evidence and the PYP Exhibition. |
| IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) | Ages 11–16 (Grade 6–10) | Connects classroom learning to the real world through eight subject groups: Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, Arts, Physical and Health Education, and Design. Each subject is assessed against four criteria using a 0–8 scale. The MYP Personal Project in Grade 10 is a significant independent research project. | Schools assess internally against IB criteria. External eAssessment is available in Grade 10 for schools that choose to offer it. MYP results do not produce a separate IB certificate but serve as direct preparation for DP. |
| IB Diploma Programme (DP) | Ages 16–19 (Grade 11–12) | A rigorous two-year pre-university programme. Students study six subjects across six groups, with three at Higher Level (HL) and three at Standard Level (SL). Additionally, all DP students complete Theory of Knowledge (TOK), an Extended Essay (EE) of 4,000 words, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). Maximum score is 45 points; universities typically require 30–38+ points for competitive programmes. | External examinations in May and November. Internal Assessments (IAs) in each subject contribute 20–30% of the final grade. TOK and EE together contribute up to 3 bonus points. |
Within the Diploma Programme, every subject is offered at two levels of difficulty:
240 teaching hours over two years
More demanding and in-depth. HL grades carry greater weight in university conditional offers, particularly for competitive courses like Medicine, Law and Engineering. Students take exactly three HL subjects.
150 teaching hours over two years
Covers the core syllabus with breadth rather than depth. Provides a strong academic foundation without the intensity of HL. Students take exactly three SL subjects.
