Our International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme

Our 16 to 18-year-olds follow the two-year International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).

We’re the leading IB school in Madrid, offering a comprehensive Diploma Programme that’s highly regarded by universities and colleges around the world. Our IB Diploma is respected for being academically rigorous, developing strong personal skills and values, and providing a broad range of exciting global learning experiences.

 

The IB Diploma explained

Our students choose one subject from each of the following groups: Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, and Mathematics. Your child will also choose a sixth subject, which can either be from one of these groups or the creative arts.

Students also need to complete the core IBDP programme: Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity and Service.

To achieve their Diploma, students need to get at least 24 points, including a minimum of 12 in higher level subjects, and 9 in standard level subjects. Completing the core programme can add up to 3 points.

With 1 in 3 students achieving 40 points or more – and one getting a perfect score of 45/45 – our school is a place where students’ hard work and talent shine brightly.
