In May 2008, SJHS received authorisation by the IBO to deliver the IB Diploma Programme and become an “IB World school”. SJHS is committed at all levels to continue to develop our already impressive infrastructure and to ensure that students’ needs are met to the highest standards possible. For a high achieving school such as SJHS, the IB Diploma Programme represents a logical progression in development, reflecting the growing desire among Europe’s leading schools, to embrace the world’s premier pre-university academic programme.
What is the IB Diploma Programme?
The IB Diploma Programme is a challenging two-year programme of international education for students aged 16 to 19. It leads to a qualification that is widely recognized and often preferred, by the world’s leading universities.Students learn more than a collection of facts. The Diploma Programme prepares students for university and encourages them to:
- ask challenging questions
- learn how to learn
- develop a strong sense of their own identity and culture
- develop the ability to communicate with and understand people from other countries and cultures
