What is the International Baccalaureate Degree Programme?

Among the first schools in Italy to offer the IB Diploma Programme, Marymount International School Rome provides a rigorous and challenging International Baccalaureate curriculum in Grades 11 and 12 that includes the study of languages, individuals and societies, experimental sciences, math and computer science, and the arts. In order to receive the IB Diploma, students sit for examinations in six subject areas at the conclusion of Grade 12 as well as follow a course in Theory of Knowledge, the focus of which is to demonstrate the interdependence of various subjects. Students must also submit an Extended Essay and participate in creativity, activity, and service (CAS) programs.
