Our International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is delivered in Year 12 and Year 13 (ages 16–18) and is designed to develop each student’s full academic and personal potential. Through a rigorous, globally recognised curriculum, students deepen their knowledge in their chosen areas of interest while strengthening their critical thinking, research skills, independence, and international-mindedness—qualities that prepare them to thrive at university and beyond.
Since receiving our authorisation in July 2025, we have been committed to building a high-quality and academically robust IBDP pathway tailored to the individual needs of our students. We have designed a balanced timetable that supports student wellbeing, encourages sustained high performance, and allows students to successfully combine academic study with personal life and extracurricular pursuits.
Obtaining the International Baccalaureate Diploma will give students the opportunity of applying to universities all over the world. For universities in Spain students with the IB Diploma will have direct access to all public institutions.
