Due to its rigorous nature, preparation for the IB Diploma Programme is offered through the IB Middle Years curricula in the 9th and 10th grades or through other accelerated curricula. The IB diploma leads to advanced standing in universities throughout the world. The IB Diploma Programme framework includes required courses within six subject groups: Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Experimental Sciences and Computer Science, Mathematics, and Arts.
