Al Bateen Secondary Schools offer the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, the perfect programme for students seeking a broad, challenging education with a global view.
The IB Diploma Programme is an academically challenging and balanced programme of education with final examinations that prepares students aged 15 to 18 for success at university and life beyond. The Diploma Programme prepares students for effective participation in a rapidly evolving and increasingly global society as they develop physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically, and acquire breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding, studying courses from six subject groups.
"The IB Diploma Programme is perfectly suited to conscientious and motivated students who wish to combine cooperative and independent learning across a broad base of subjects," says Dr Chiara Tabet, who heads the IB programme at Al Bateen. "It is highly regarded by leading universities and is excellent preparation for success at university level."
