IB Diploma at St. John's
At St. John's we have offered our students the International Baccalaureate Diploma for more than 40 years. We are proud of our strong history of students achieving academic success and going on to study at top Universities and colleges around the world.
Why Choose our High School?
Our High School provides students with a holistic, rigorous and well-rounded curriculum, designed to prepare them for entry to top universities around the world, as well as success as global citizens outside of the classroom. With over 60 years of academic experience, premium facilities and a strong enrichment programme, our excellent reputation is built on strong foundations of exceptional academics, as well as being a trusted part of the international community.
International Baccalaureate (IB)
In Grades 9 and 10, our students complete the final two years of their Middle Years Programme (MYP), which prepares them for the Diploma Programme (DP) framework in Grades 11 and 12.
The DP is a two-year programme that provides students with a challenging, well-rounded academic experience, culminating in an externally assessed qualification.
Recognised as an elite entrance credential by universities throughout the world, holders of the IBDP are often granted advanced standing in selected subjects by many global post-secondary institutions.
In both the MYP and DP, students have the option to choose courses from specific subject groups (within certain guidelines), to put them on a path to fulfill their university and career aspirations.
IBDP Assessments
In order to successfully obtain an IB Diploma, students need to do the following:
