International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme
The IB Diploma programme is a world class, worldwide pre-university curriculum.
Following extensive consultation with several ‘world schools’ and a highly successful visit from IB representatives to the Academy, we are convinced that the IB provides an excellent alternative to A levels and BTEC as a pathway to higher education.
IB students will take six subjects; three at standard level and three at higher level over two years. In addition to six subjects, students follow a core programme that lies at the heart of the IB.
By offering the IB, as part of an enhanced sixth form curriculum and in the context of our unrivalled resources, the Ashcroft Academy Sixth Form becomes a real alternative to the fee paying as well as the state education sectors.
How will you know if the IB is for you?
The IB Programme will suit our own students as well as highly motivated students from other schools. Typical IB students will have enquiring minds, a genuine desire to learn and will want to develop critical thinking skills and a global perspective to your education.
