International Baccalaureate | Programmes


The International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Year Programme (PYP) is a curriculum framework designed for students aged 3 up to 12. It focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. We use a global perspective for learning, engaging our students in reflection on their place and role as participants within this diverse environment both within and outside of school and to be resilient throughout life. To learn more visit our Early Years and Upper Primary pages.


The International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) is a curriculum framework designed for students aged 11 up to 16. ISL is currently a Candidate School* for the IB MYP. Students, through a flexible and academically rigorous programme, are able to engage with learning that allows them to explore and pursue their interests through making connections between their studies and the real world. The programme provides a bridge of continuity from the IB PYP and IB DP. Guiding students via the IB learner profiles and the five Approaches to Learning. To learn more visit our Middle Years page.


The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) is a two-year programme of studies that provides a balanced curriculum that provides an excellent platform for future success in higher education. The IB DP gives students a deep base of knowledge, enabling them to excel in traditional academic subjects. It provides students with the tools necessary to thrive intellectually, emotionally and socially. This qualification is recognised by many universities worldwide, and some offer advanced placement credits that acknowledge the academic level that students have achieved. To learn more visit our IB DP page. 


*The International School of Luxembourg is a candidate school for the Middle Years Programme. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy: a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education that ISL believes is important for our students.

Only schools authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org.
