WHAT IS THE DIPLOMA PROGRAM?
The DP is designed for students aged 16 through 18. At Stockton Collegiate, the DP years are 11th and 12th grades.
"The programme aims to develop students who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge - students who flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically." |
Schools must be authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization to offer the DP. Stockton Collegiate was originally authorized in 2010 and regularly since then. We will welcome the reauthorization team again in 2028. |
