DIPLOMA PROGRAMME
(DP)
Lycée Européen Baccalauréat is proud to be a Candidate
School* for the International Baccalaureate Diploma
Programme (DP) — the final stage of the IB continuum,
designed for students aged 16 to 19.
The DP offers a rigorous,
balanced, and internationally recognised pre-university
curriculum that prepares students for success at leading
universities worldwide.
In the DP, students study six subject groups alongside the
Core — Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Creativity, Activity,
Service (CAS), and the Extended Essay — which together
nurture critical thinking, research skills, creativity, and a
sense of global responsibility.
Our first IBDP Year 1 cohort will begin in September 2027, marking an exciting milestone in our journey to offer a complete IB pathway from the Primary Years through to the Diploma.
We are committed to guiding our students through this transformative educational experience.
