A clear pathway to graduation and beyond
Students who complete the MYP at WIS can continue their education through the IB Diploma Programme at our sister school, the International High School of Wrocław. This gives families a clear and continuous international pathway from the early years through to graduation.
The Diploma Programme is one of the world’s most respected pre-university qualifications. It is academically challenging, internationally recognised and designed to prepare students for university and life beyond school with confidence, maturity and independence.
For families choosing WIS, this means long-term continuity, a strong academic pathway and the reassurance that their child can continue learning within the wider Foundation of International Education community.
DP in brief
The IB Diploma Programme is a rigorous two-year course for students aged 16 to 19. It combines academic depth with breadth, helping students develop strong subject knowledge while also building independence, critical thinking and intellectual confidence.
Recognised by universities around the world, the Diploma Programme prepares students not only for further study, but also for the demands of life in a complex and fast-changing world.
DP Curricular Framework
The Diploma Programme combines six subject areas with a unique core that encourages students to think deeply, work independently and engage with the world beyond the classroom. It is designed to balance strong academic achievement with reflection, research and personal growth.
At this stage, students are expected to take greater ownership of their learning, manage demanding workloads and approach complex questions with confidence and maturity.
DP Subjects
Students in the Diploma Programme choose subjects from across the curriculum, ensuring both depth and breadth in their education. This balanced structure helps them develop strong academic foundations while keeping future university options open.
The programme supports students in building advanced knowledge in their chosen areas while also strengthening analytical thinking, communication and academic discipline
DP Core
The DP Core is one of the programme’s greatest strengths. Through the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), students learn to think independently, ask bigger questions and connect their learning to real life.
These elements help students grow not only as successful learners, but also as reflective, engaged and responsible young adults.
