The International School of Egypt offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) and its engaging and challenging curriculum which encourages critical thinking, intercultural understanding and respect.
The IBDP is created for young people who are between 16 and 18 years.
ISE IBDP admission policy supports academic success and ensures that students take courses which are both challenging and manageable. Students must have a solid background in English, Mathematics, and Science to enter the IBDP.
Admission shall not be denied because of nationality or race. The primary aim is to accept all qualified applicants who passed the required admission tests and provide facilities needed for the expected enrollment.
IBDP provides students with a depth of rigorous academic study and prepares them for university. All subjects are offered at high and standard levels to satisfy students’ needs. Three additional program elements are Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay, and participation in the CAS Program.
1. ISE Students doing the full diploma and courses
2. External Middle Years Programme (MYP) students
3. External non-MYP students
4. Transfer students
Students who transfer from other IBDP schools may apply. The International School of Egypt will work with other DP coordinators to have a smooth transition. If an appropriate subject or level is not available at the International School of Egypt, parents may need to pay the cost of an online course. If a student is transferred from another IB World school after Grade 11 and course outlines are different from his/her previous school, the student is responsible for self-studying the topics that were covered at ISE by the end of Grade 11.
All applicants will be interviewed to identify their level of commitment and abilities required for IBDP, as well as their level of oral English fluency. Applicants’ parents will be interviewed to determine their understanding and commitment to the IBDP. After the interview, the applicant’s potential to succeed in all components of IBDP will be considered.
All candidates must sign a learning contract that states that they are aware of the rigour of the program and are committed to its academic deadlines.
All candidates must sign an academic honesty contract.
ISE admission policy includes welcoming students with a variety of different abilities. In some instances, a student may be advised to withdraw from the full diploma program and transfer to the American Diploma Program. The decision to do so is made in consultation with the student’s parents, teachers, school counsellor, and the DP Coordinator.
