International Baccalaureate

The International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum is a globally recognized educational program designed to foster intellectual, personal, emotional, and social growth in students aged 11 to 19. It aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who are motivated to succeed in an ever-changing world.

The IB curriculum is structured into 3 programs:

1. Primary Years Programme (PYP):

2. Middle Years Programme (MYP):

Designed for students aged 11 to 16, the MYP provides a framework of academic challenge and life skills. It encourages students to make connections between their studies and the real world, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills. Arabic and English Languages are offered as first language and language acquisition.

3. Diploma Programme (DP):

Targeting students aged 16 to 19, the DP is a rigorous pre-university course of study. Students choose subjects from six subject groups, including languages, sciences, mathematics, arts, individuals and societies, and interdisciplinary subjects. They also undertake an extended essay, engage in creativity, action, service (CAS) activities, and study the theory of knowledge (TOK).

Key features of the IB curriculum include its international perspective, emphasis on holistic development, commitment to inquiry-based learning, and focus on developing intercultural understanding and global-mindedness. Additionally, the IB places a strong emphasis on developing students' skills for lifelong learning, including critical thinking, research skills, and communication skills.

In2023/2024, the IB Program moved into a separate building to ensure better services for the students. The MYP Program has recently been authorized and the PYP program is in the process of candidacy.
