THE IB DIPLOMA PROGRAM (IBDP) AT UAA
UAA has been offering the IBDP since the 2014-15 Academic year, and our first IB class graduated in 2017.
What is the IBDP?
The IBDP offers a combination of balance, depth, and breadth.
IB LEARNER PROFILE
Students study six subjects, one from each of the six groups. Three (or in some cases, four) subjects are studied at a Higher Level (HL) and the remainder at a Standard Level (SL). HL incorporates a wider range of topics than SL and studies some common topics more deeply.
Students choose one subject from each of the 6 groups from the table below. Level choices (SL/HL) are made at the end of grade 10. Not all level combinations are possible, and the opening of a class at a particular level may depend on student numbers.
