The IB Diploma Programme

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma was created in 1968 and is offered by 6,000 schools in 150 countries. In 2022, nearly 170,000 students received the IB Diploma. 

The programmes encourage both personal and academic achievement, challenging students to excel in their studies and in their personal development. The IB is recognised and respected by the world’s leading universities, and IB standards are aligned with the knowledge and skills required for university. 

The IB Diploma is equivalent to the German Hochschulzugangsberechtigung (under specified regulations as set by the KMK – Ministry of Education). 

Empowering students with the IB, we shape their journey toward a future filled with endless possibilities. We pride ourselves on implementing the excellent Cambridge school system, renowned for its academic rigour and holistic development. Our students acquire critical thinking, problem-solving and research skills, nurturing their intellectual curiosity and leading them to excellence.
