The IB Diploma is a demanding academic program developed, implemented and regulated by The International Baccalaureate Organization, headquarted in Geneva, Switzerland. The diploma courses are united in a demanding and rigorous two-year curriculum measured against well-defined, criterion-referenced international standards. The central purpose of our program is to prepare highly motivated high school students for success when they attend college after high school. “The IBO has shown, over the course of 30 years, that students are well prepared for university work. They are accepted by universities in more than 110 countries.” Graduates report that the diploma program has prepared them well for their university studies.
