The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a two-year course designed by the International Baccalaureate Organization for high school students.
The IB curriculum is divided into six basic subject areas, and students must study both science and humanities subjects. All students participating in the diploma program must choose one course from each of the six subject groups to study. Each course is divided into advanced courses and general courses.
The IB curriculum is a challenging and highly recognized course that prepares students to enter university and obtain an international baccalaureate certificate. After obtaining this certificate, students are eligible to directly enter British universities and universities in most other countries. They may also obtain up to one year of credits to enter American universities. The IB curriculum is carried out in depth, and students' learning will continue to deepen.
The IB curriculum is recognized by the global education community as an educational program with a high academic standard, accepted by a wider range of universities and middle schools, and has developed and grown rapidly around the world, becoming the most ideal choice for international students to enter foreign universities. Currently, more than a thousand universities recognize the International Baccalaureate, and its member schools are spread across more than a dozen countries. According to the latest data from the IB headquarters in Geneva on June 16 this year, there are currently 1,425 IB schools in 115 countries around the world that teach IB courses simultaneously, and thousands of certificate holders have entered hundreds of universities around the world.
The IB curriculum project is attracting the attention of the world with its leading educational ideas and unique curriculum structure. Its ideas and practices have also begun to go beyond the scope of "international schools" and enter some ordinary high schools around the world that are full of innovative consciousness and tolerance.
In North America and Europe, many famous universities are happy to accept IB students, and some universities also provide bonus credits and skip-level encouragement admission policies for outstanding IB graduates. There are more than a thousand universities in nearly a hundred countries around the world that have a stable contractual relationship with the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), ensuring that these universities recognize IB diplomas.
