The IB Diploma Programme is an internationally renowned educational programme for students in Years 11 and 12. It focuses on a holistic approach that combines academic excellence with personal maturity. The diploma is recognised by universities worldwide. Our graduates leave the DP not only with excellent subject knowledge, but also with a clear understanding of values, a global perspective and the ability to take responsibility for themselves and others.
The Diploma Programme promotes perseverance, independence and intellectual depth. We provide you with intensive support in course selection, time management and study preparation.
Our self-study zones offer you a quiet and well-equipped space to study independently, work on projects and prepare for exams.
We offer enrichment programmess for particularly high-achieving students as well as Learning Support (LS) for differentiated lessons and targeted interventions in collaboration with teachers. Special counselling services, especially in times of transition, round off our offer.
You will receive individual support in choosing universities and career paths. "Colleges and Careers" on our school website and a special programme will guide you in your choice of studies. If you wish, we can put you in touch directly with the admissions team at the university of your choice.
The IB Diploma is an internationally recognised university entrance qualification. With the right combination of subjects that meets the requirements of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK), your degree will also be recognised as equivalent to the Abitur in Germany.
In addition to the IB Diploma, Strothoff International School offers its own diploma, which is recognised as an official degree by universities around the world due to our accreditation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and the Council for International Schools (CIS).
... but that's exactly why I find it so motivating. We not only learn specialist knowledge, but also how to organise ourselves, research independently and think critically. What I particularly like is that we are taken seriously as students. We can shape things and get help to prepare ourselves very specifically for university."
