The world is changing and changing fast. Future employers are looking for graduates who are able to think creatively, are open-minded and have the resilience to constantly adapt and reskill.   In order to succeed and connect in an increasingly globalized world, young adults need to be culturally aware and excellent communicators.

The International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB DP) is a two-year international programme that prepares Sixth Form (bachillerato) students for university and higher education. It also prepares students to become creative problem-solvers and lifelong independent thinkers, equipped to succeed in a rapidly changing and increasingly global society.

The IB Diploma is taught across 160 countries including the United Kingdom, USA and throughout Europe.   It is accepted by universities across the globe and recognised as a robust preparation for university and working life. The IB Diploma has the advantage of direct access into Spanish universities.

In addition to the six academic studies students also engage in the IB Core element, which encourages students to make a difference to their community, learn new skills and discover the world around them. The core elements are:-

1. Theory of Knowledge– taught lessons on critical thinking

2. Individual Extended Essay – a research project which introduces students to the demands of independent work prior to entering university.

3. CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) – experiences and challenges that students undertake, either individually or as part of a team, that enrich and develop their skills.
