Diploma Programme at a glance
Who can offer the programme?
The authorization process, which may take two or more years, consists of two phases.
-
Feasibility study and identification of resources
The school makes an in-depth analysis of the philosophy and curriculum, and identifies the resources needed to deliver it.
-
School visit
On receipt of a formal application to teach the programme, a delegation appointed by the IB visits the school and reports on the school’s capacity to deliver the programme. If the outcome is positive, the school becomes authorized to offer the programme and attains the status of IB World School.
The school’s delivery of the programme is evaluated by the IB every five years after authorization.
