DP (grades 11-12)
The IB Diploma Programme (DP) is an academically challenging program that prepares 11 and 12-graders for the academic rigor of university studies and beyond. It’s a holistic programme that aims to develop students with excellent breadth and depth of knowledge who flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally, and ethically.
Since 2006, Nova International School has offered the IB Diploma Programme to students aged 16-19 (11th and 12th grade).
The students can choose between being full Diploma candidates or Course candidates.
Programme Model
The DP curriculum consists of six subject groups and the DP core, which comprises theory of knowledge (TOK), creativity, activity, service (CAS), and the extended essay.
The DP core is designed to broaden students’ educational experience and challenge them to apply their knowledge and skills in meaningful ways, deepening their engagement with their personal learning journey within the IB programme.
