George Green’s School, authorized to deliver the Diploma
Programme commencing September 2008, is a coeducational
state school with a friendly and inclusive sixth form. The
international nature of the Diploma Programme and its
philosophy particularly meet the needs of our humanities
specialist school status as well as the ethnic and cultural
diversity of our student cohort. Located directly to the south of
the Canary Wharf financial district we can ensure that the
business focus of the IB Career-related Certificate (IBCC)
offers our students an ideal background for nearby internship
and employment opportunities.
The IB Diploma Programme is a Post-16 programme of study
of the highest academic standing, offering a challenging and
academically stimulating pre-university education.
Internationally renowned as the ‘gold-standard’, the breadth
of study and depth of intellectual engagement, the IB is
particularly suitable for highly motivated, hard-working
students. The programme equips students with the skills and
attitudes necessary for success at university and in
employment. Students are encouraged to become wellrounded
independent thinkers, who will take on an active role
in the global society. For this reason, George Green’s sixth
form takes pride not only in students’ achievement in the
Diploma Programme but also in its extensive enrichment
programme. By offering a wide range of opportunities for
students to participate in such as creative activities and sports
as well as service to the school and wider community, we
believe our students are well-prepared for university life and
beyond. Students regularly participate in various
extracurricular activities including: the European Youth
Parliament; Model United Nations; Wings of Hope
Achievement Award; and a cultural visit to Rome. The
European Youth Parliament is an annual competitive debating
event held at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office,
designed to introduce students to competitive negotiation
and representation – all fundamentals of any modern
democracy. The Wings of Hope Achievement Award
encourages students to become more aware of global issues
by being involved in fundraising activities for schools in India
and Malawi, while the cultural visit to Rome allows
participants as a group to appreciate the art and architecture
of the ‘Eternal City’.
At the end of the two years in our sixth form, our IB
programmes conclude with a ‘graduation’ celebration with
the associated regalia and excitement that accompany such
events. At George Green’s we believe that an IB education will
prepare our young people to transform our world.
