The IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) at OBS is open to your child if they have reached Sek A or Gymnasium level at the end of Grade 9.
The IB Diploma Programme aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. The programme encourages students to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners.
The IB Diploma Programme is a challenging, internationally focused and well recognised two-year programme of study taken in grades 11 and 12. Your child will be required to enroll in a minimum of six available IB subjects tailored to their interests and skills, whilst taking into consideration subject requirements for their chosen university courses and/or their chosen career paths. Studying three subjects at Higher Level (HL) provides emphasis on chosen disciplines and needed skills whilst the other three subjects are studied at Standard Level (SL) creating a breadth of knowledge and understanding in various disciplines.
Alongside the six Diploma Programme (DP) subjects, the DP Core consisting of CAS (Creativity, Activity and Service), TOK (Theory of Knowledge) and EE (Extended Essay) plays a central and crucial role.
