DP and ISE Diploma: Grades 11-12

The International School of Estonia offers a very successful programme of academic instruction leading to a high school diploma and the possibility of the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma.

Students may pursue three options in grades 11 and 12:

1) ISE Diploma Only. A fully accredited high school diploma certified by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) which provides students with access to worldwide universities.

2) ISE Diploma with the option of pursuing IBDP Course Certificates in selected subjects. Students can complete a high school diploma while focusing on specific courses of interest that may lead to an IB Course Certificate.

3) ISE Diploma with registration for the full IB Diploma. Students can successfully complete the ISE Diploma simultaneously while preparing for the internal and external requirements of the IB Diploma.

Life in the 21st century, in an interconnected, globalized world, requires critical-thinking skills and a sense of international-mindedness, something that International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Program students come to know and understand.

Please visit the IBDP webpage if you need more information about the programme.

*Students whose native language is not offered at the school may take a self-taught IBO approved language course (SL)

The high school curriculum is predominantly college preparatory. Most graduates continue their educational careers at universities in North America and Europe. Graduates receive an ISE High School Diploma.
