At ABWA the students are provided with the option of continuing their international education after Grade 10. To facilitate this, we offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program and the Cambridge A level program. Both curricula encourage students to be internationally-minded, to think critically and challenge assumptions within today's complex and well connected world.
The school conducts an orientation for all parents of students of Grade 10 and during this session the specifics of the programs are shared to enable and equip the students to make an informed choice.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, founded in 1968, is a two-year programme after Grade 10, at the end of which students are evaluated through internal and external assessments for an internationally acceptable qualification for entry into university.
The IB Programme is taught in English, French and Spanish in 3630 schools in 146 countries. It offers four challenging programmes to over 1,115,000 students aged 3 to 19 years.
The Diploma programme, whilst incorporating the best educational practices from several countries, is a comprehensive and challenging experience that allows students to fulfil the requirements of their state and national education systems. The DP incorporates the best elements of national systems, without being based on any single one.
The DP assessment is criterion-referenced: each student's performance is measured against well-defined levels of achievement. Scores reflect knowledge and skills relative to set standards applied equally to all schools. Academic judgments about candidates are evaluated by over 5000 examiners from around the world, led by chief examiners with international authority in their fields.
The DP curriculum aims to develop in students the ability to reason for themselves, rather than merely accumulate facts. It provides a thorough education in a broad wide range of subjects.
It empowers students to pursue their interests and become active learners within a framework that provides a sound and balanced education.
The IB Diploma programme student must choose one subject from each of the five groups (1 to 5), to ensure a breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding.
The 6th subject may be selected from Group 3, 4, or 6.
