International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP)

Choosing the right high school program sets the foundation for university success. The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) at BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya provides a balanced, globally recognized education designed to prepare students for top universities worldwide.
Here is a quick look at how the program works and what makes it effective:

1. Guidance from Grade 7 to University

Preparation doesn’t start in Grade 12 it is a continuous journey:
  • Grades 7–9 (Middle School): Builds core academic habits, discipline, and subject confidence.
  • Grade 10 (Pre-DP Transition): Students narrow their focus by choosing language pathways (English plus Mandarin or Indonesian) and mapping out subjects based on career counselling.
  • Grades 11–12 (High School): Full IB DP execution focused on academic rigour, research, and critical thinking.

2. Core Requirements Made Simple

The IB DP structure is designed to develop well-rounded thinkers through two main components:
  • 6 Subjects: A combination of 3 Higher Level (HL) and 3 Standard Level (SL) courses.
  • 3 IB Core Elements:
    • TOK (Theory of Knowledge): Sharpens critical thinking.
    • CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service): Encourages personal growth outside the classroom.
    • EE (Extended Essay): An independent 4,000-word research paper preparing students for university-level writing.

3. Tailored Career Tracks

Instead of picking subjects randomly, students select tailored pathways based on their future goals:
  • Business Track: Focuses on Business Management alongside languages, math, and sciences.
  • Engineering Track: Emphasizes Physics, Math, and Chemistry/Design Technology.
  • Biomedical Track: Tailored for health sciences with Biology, Chemistry, and Math.

Why It Matters
