IB Diploma Programme (G 11-12)

SISQ is an IB World School and it started offering DP from September 2019.
The Diploma Programme is the IB's oldest programme and is hugely respected by universities and employers all around the world. In IB schools, the DP is studied in the final two years of secondary school, Grades 11 and 12. The DP is structured so that students gain both a breadth and depth of knowledge, as well as key skills that will enable them to succeed in higher education and the world of work.
IB Diploma Programme
In the Diploma Programme (DP), students study six subjects across different groups, usually three at Higher Level and three at Standard Level. They also complete the DP Core-Theory of Knowledge (TOK), the Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS)-which ensures they become well-rounded, reflective learners.
DP assessment includes both internal coursework and external examinations. All components must be completed to earn the qualification, and students who pass Language and Literature in two different languages receive the prestigious Bilingual IB Diploma.
Choosing the right subjects is key to future success. From early on, students are guided on university requirements and subject choices to help them prepare for their academic and career goals.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme is a rigorous two-year curriculum that balances depth and breadth, preparing students for success in a global context.

Its aim is to provide a well-rounded education, encourage cultural mobility, and promote international understanding through a shared academic experience. The IB Diploma has become a worldwide symbol of academic integrity and promise.

While the programme is demanding, students are supported by experienced teachers and caring tutors who guide their progress and provide help when needed.

University Counselling Philosophy

At SISQ, our counselling philosophy is to guide students toward the university that best fits their academic strengths, personal interests, and future goals. We work closely with students and parents to provide tailored support throughout the application process-offering guidance on course choices, career planning, admissions requirements, essays, interviews, and more. Through one-on-one counselling and schoolwide events, our goal is to ensure every student feels confident, prepared, and supported in taking their next step beyond SISQ.
