OUR DIPLOMA PROGRAMME

The IB Diploma Programme is a challenging, rewarding course which opens doors to the most prestigious universities worldwide. It pushes students to excel academically, socially, and personally, and gives them the best possible chance to succeed and flourish at whatever they choose to be or do.

At TBS Warsaw, our IB students build their own pathway by choosing one subject from each of the following groups: Language and Literature; Language Acquisition; Individuals and Societies; Experimental Sciences; Mathematics; and the Arts. In addition, students complete the IBDP’s core components of Theory of Knowledge (critical thinking); Extended Essay (independent research); and Creativity, Activity, Service (personal and interpersonal development).

With dedicated teachers and a supportive community of international peers, our students thrive and grow as resilient learners and global citizens. Our students build an impressive portfolio of learning experiences and accomplishments beyond the classroom, complementing their academic achievements and enhancing their university admissions profile.
