The full form of IBDP is International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.

The IB continuum of international education for 3 to 19 year olds is
unique because of its academic and personal rigour. We challenge
students to excel in their studies and in their personal growth. We
aim to inspire a quest for learning throughout life that is marked by
enthusiasm and empathy.
The IB aspires to help schools develop well-rounded students with
character who respond to challenges with optimism and an open
mind, are confident in their own identities, make ethical decisions,
join with others in celebrating our common humanity and are
prepared to apply what they learn in real-world, complex and
unpredictable situations.
The IB offers high-quality programmes of international education
that share a powerful vision. Informed by the values described in
the learner profile, an IB education:
• focuses on learners – the IB’s student-centred programmes promote
healthy relationships, ethical responsibility and personal challenge
• develops effective approaches to teaching and learning – IB
programmes help students to develop the attitudes and skills
they need for both academic and personal success
• works within global contexts – IB programmes increase
understanding of languages and cultures, and explore globally
significant ideas and issues
• explores significant content – IB programmes offer a curriculum
that is broad and balanced, conceptual and connected.
IB learners strive to become inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers,
communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers,
balanced, and reflective. These attributes represent a broad range
of human capacities and responsibilities that go beyond intellectual
development and academic success.

What is the IB Diploma Programme (DP)?
The IB Diploma Programme (DP) is an academically challenging
and balanced programme of education with final examinations
that prepares students, aged 16 to 19, for success at university and
life beyond. It has been designed to address the intellectual, social,
emotional and physical well-being of students. The programme has
gained recognition and respect from the world’s leading universities.
The Diploma Programme prepares students for effective participation
in a rapidly evolving and increasingly global society as they:
• develop physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically
• acquire breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding,
studying courses from six subject groups
• develop the skills and a positive attitude towards learning that will
prepare them for higher education
• study at least two languages and increase understanding of
cultures, including their own
