The Diploma Programme of the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO), is a prestigious and rigorous educational program intended for students in their final two years of secondary school, often before entering university.

The program consists of completing six courses from six different subject areas; writing an Extended Essay (EE) of up to 4,000 words, taking part in the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) class, and fulfilling a requirement of 50 hours in each of the Creative, Active and Service (CAS) pursuits.

The Components of the IB Diploma course:

Group 1: Language A1 - Generally the student's strongest language. Students may choose to self-study a language of their choice at standard level if their fluent language is not taught by the school.

Group 2: Second Language - An additional language, taken either at A2, B (SL or HL) or ab initio (SL only). This group may also be replaced by a second A1 language.

Group 3: Individuals and Societies - Humanities and social sciences, such as philosophy, economics, business and management, psychology, social anthropology, information technology in a global society (ITGS), geography and history (or History of the Islamic World).

Group 4: Experimental Sciences - Subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, environmental systems and design technology.

Group 5: Mathematics

Group 6: Arts - Subjects such as visual arts, film, music, dance, and theatre arts.
