The IBDP is for students aged 16 to 19 years.
At the heart of the DP lies the DP core. Made up of the three required components, the DP core aims to broaden students’ educational experience and challenge them to apply their knowledge and skills to solve real life problems.
The DP curriculum is made up six subject groups and the DP core, comprising Theory of Knowledge (ToK), Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) and the Extended Essay (EE).
