Grades 11 and 12 students at the American School of Bahrain will now be able to benefit from the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) as it is officially authorised as an IB World School.
The programme, which covers six subject groups and the DP core, comprising Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) and the Extended Essay, will provide pupils with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn, explore and develop together. It also increased their chances to be accepted into American and British international universities.
“The efficacy of the IBDP has been proven time and time again,” said Dr Juan Saavedra, the newly-appointed Middle and High School principal. “Students who have earned the IB diploma perform better at their studies, are admitted to the best universities and, more importantly, become responsible members of local, national and global communities.”
The IBDP will be offered starting from the 2022-2023 academic year and Grade 10 students will be offered pre-IB classes to prepare them for the IBDP.
