Our students undertake a minimum of two IB Diploma Programme courses, a core consisting of four components and a career-related course.

DP courses provide the theoretical underpinning and academic rigour of the Career-related Programme, at the same time as the career-related component builds on this foundation by providing practical, real-world approaches to learning.

The Career-related Programme core helps students to develop the skills and attributes required for lifelong learning

The programme’s curriculum framework develops:

• linguistic proficiency
• critical thinking skills
• maturity and responsibility
• time management skills
• a strong work ethic
• social and communication skills.

These capabilities are complementary to the accredited skills students gain as a requirement of their career-related studies.

Students take written examinations at the end of their IB Diploma Programme courses. These are marked by external IB examiners. The school assesses the components of the Career-related core.

The preparatory year is a one-year course prior to the actual IB Career-related Programme. Here students follow a course of study which is similar to the Business and Administration Programme (Försäljnings- och serviceprogrammet) in the Swedish system, making it possible for students to change to another programme should they not wish to continue with the IB.

The aim of preparatory year is to prepare students for the challenge of the programme, developing their hospitality, academic and language skills, equipping them to study a broad range of subjects in English.

Unfortunately, the planned Career-related Programme Information Technology (ITI) will not now be starting in Autumn 2022.
