MXIS Diploma 

 

The MXIS Diploma has been designed in order to provide a more flexible program of study than is available in the full IB Diploma or IB Course Certificate. This program is ideal for those students who do not have the broad academic competence necessary for the full IB Diploma, and will be more successful in focusing their efforts on specific subject areas in which they can achieve a good standard. Students will not take the external examinations given by IB.
