3. The Diploma Programme

4. What are people saying about the Diploma Programme?
“…It not only gives children an international perspective to their education, but also focuses on how to be a learner. I am not just delivering them facts but how they will best learn what they want to know…”
- Sarah Pepper ISD Principal, Ireland. “
“...I have absolutely no doubt that the IB is better than the national curriculum. The breadth of subjects allows students to be much better prepared for life beyond school...”
- Paul Coates, CAS coordinator and House Master, Sidcot International School, UK.
“...Skills I learned through DP will continue to put me in good stead for the rest of my life. IB gave me the peace of mind and confidence in my abilities. University is still a lot of work, but I know no matter how high the bar is set, I will be able to make the jump...” 
- Lindsey Fielding Croft, former student at Park View Education Centre, Canada.
