International Baccalaureate

The IBDP: An Education for Life

Welcome to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), the world's premier pre-university course of study. At Garden International School, the IBDP begins after the completion of the IGCSE course in Years 10 and 11. It concludes almost two years later in term three of Year 13.

For those students wishing to have either a head start in their chosen career, their choice of University worldwide or advanced placement at a Thai University, the IB Diploma is the only real option.

For over 10 years GIS has been at the forefront of Diploma Programme delivery, boasting a committed, enthusiastic and experienced staff whose high standards and practices reflect the demands of the Diploma.

The 'IB', as it is known globally, is proud of its pursuit of lifelong learning, academic excellence, and the celebration of cultural diversity. By adopting these three ideals into its own mission statement, GIS is perfectly positioned to offer students a passport to success, via the IB Diploma.

The curriculum contains six subject groups together with a core made up of three separate parts - Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) , Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and Extended Essay. This is represented in the hexagonal model below. To follow the programme students must study one subject from each subject group. Normally, three subjects are studied at higher level and the remaining three subjects are studied at standard level.

All three parts of the core-extended essay, theory of knowledge and creativity, action, service-are compulsory and are central to the philosophy of the Diploma Programme.
