The secondary School ( Diploma Programme)
Secondary Years (11-12)
- The IB Diploma - this international respected programme is a highly rigorous, academic course. It is recognised and accepted for entry to universities worldwide. Students choose six subjects which they study across two years.
- IB Courses and High School Diploma - depending on academic ability and/or choice of university programme, some students will select to graduate with a US style High School Diploma. Any IB subject courses that are completed are awarded Certification by the IB.
- Dual Entry Programmes - for some subjects, it is possible to complete university foundation courses while taking the High School Diploma. Students are registered both with AISPP and with the chosen university. It is even possible to complete enough credit courses to complete your first year of university while at school!
University Guidance and Applications
International school students are able to apply for thousands of universities worldwide – it can be quite a bewildering choice!
As an AISPP student, your child will benefit from the support of our Academic Counsellor. With almost a decade’s experience in advising students on academic pathways, the Academic Counsellor will work with your child on areas such as:
- Programme Selection
- Subject Selection
- University Searches
- International University Applications
Throughout the school year, you and your child will also have the opportunity to attend presentations and seminars from visiting universities.

Our current goal, working together with the IB, is to begin offering the DP starting in August 2020 with DP1 students (Year 11, Grade 11), and growing into the DP2 (Year 12, Grade 12) the following year.
