Preparatory year

If you choose to follow the IB Career-related Programme, you first do a preparatory year, MYP5 (IB Middle Years Programme final year). This year provides you with an academic foundation for the IB Career-related Programme, and gives you time to adapt to living away from home in a new environment.

If you already have sufficient knowledge from your previous education, you can start directly on the IB Career-related Programme.

Examination

For the three DP subjects, students take written examinations at the end of the programme, which are marked by external IB examiners. Students also complete assessment tasks in the school, which are either initially marked by teachers and then moderated by external moderators or sent directly to external examiners.

The grades awarded for each course range from 1 to 7.
The core subjects are also marked or moderated by the IB.
All students receive an IB certificate and BTEC International level 3 Diploma.

SSHL are members of European Council of International Schools and Association of Swedish IB Schools.
