The MYP not only teaches knowledge, but also focuses on the Approaches to Learning Skills of communication, thinking, research, self-management, and social skills.
The Diploma Programme (DP) provides a challenging, internationally focused, broad, and balanced educational experience. Students are required to study six subjects over two years while also fulfilling additional programmatic requirements. The Diploma Programme is designed to equip students with the academic skills and understanding needed for university study, further education, and their chosen profession and passion once they leave the educational setting.
