What the college says

The International Baccalaureate is a unified programme leading to a Diploma which BGS has been delivering for over a decade. Strictly speaking we should call it the IBDP (IB Diploma Programme) because there are other IB programmes, but we usually shorten this to the IB. The course is suitable to all students who meet our entry criteria detailed below. At the heart of the IB programme is an endeavour to nurture independent, creative learners with a lively curiosity about the world in which they live. Many British Universities openly express a preference for IB students because of the depth and breadth of their study and the life skills they bring with them to the university experience. And of course the IB Diploma is recognised internationally. The IBO (International Baccalaureate Organisation) website has a wealth of information to explore about the Diploma Programme: https://www.ibo.org/programmes/diploma-programme/
