IB School South<br />

Presentation<br />

The International Baccalaureate Diploma<br />

Programme is a comprehensive and challenging<br />

pre-university course taught in<br />

English. Students study six courses including<br />

both the sciences and the humanities. This<br />

curriculum has stood the test of time for<br />

over half a million students in 130 countries<br />

since 1968 and is considered one of the<br />

best pre-university educations in the world.<br />

IB Diploma graduates are welcomed by the<br />

world’s leading universities, including Swedish<br />

universities.<br />

Philosophy<br />

Our mission is to offer the best possible<br />

education to each individual student and<br />

to challenge students to be academically<br />

committed and take responsibility<br />

for their own studies. We aim to make<br />

our students ready to research a topic,<br />

express their opinion, debate real-world<br />

issues from an international perspective<br />

and ask challenging questions.<br />

Since we know that the students of today<br />

are the global citizens of tomorrow, we<br />

are a certified United Nations school and<br />

a part of the Next India and Next China<br />

projects.<br />

Standards<br />

Our teachers are qualified and experienced<br />

DP educators. They take part in the<br />

wide range of professional development<br />

activities offered by the International Baccalaureate<br />

Organization (IBO).<br />

To ensure global standards students’<br />

work and the Final Exams are externally<br />

assessed by an international board of<br />

examiners. The fact that the teachers do<br />

not set the grades creates an open and<br />

friendly atmosphere.<br />

The progress of the students is monitored<br />

four times a year. In order to identify the<br />

strengths and areas for improvement of<br />

the school students take part in a programme<br />

evaluation.<br />

Life in the 21st century, in an interconnected,<br />

globalized world, requires criticalthinking<br />

skills and a sense of internationalmindedness,<br />

something that DP students<br />

learn to know and understand.<br />
