  2. IB MYPNot here

    The IB's middle-years programme: eight subject groups taught with links between them, ending with a personal project.

  3. IB DP (Diploma)Offered

    Last 2 years of school · Ages 16–19

    The British university-entrance qualification: usually 3–4 subjects studied in depth for two years; UK universities make offers on these grades.
