Scotch College is introducing the International Baccalaureate's Diploma Programme for students in Year 11 and 12 in 2010.

With its emphasis on providing a broad-based curriculum of 21st century relevance, students learn more than a collection of facts. The Diploma Programme encourages students to:

• ask challenging questions

• learn how to learn

• develop a strong sense of their own identity and culture

• develop the ability to communicate with and understand people from other countries and cultures

For Scotch boys, the Diploma Programme is a natural progression from the IB Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes.

For more information on the Diploma programme please review the Scotch College Diploma Viewbook or the IB Parent Guide to the Diploma or register your interest by email.
