IB Diploma Programme
Grades 11 – 12

Our Concept

In Grades 11 and 12 our students are working towards the the International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme (DP).
The IB Diploma is recognised as equivalent to the German Abitur.

In our individual counselling sessions, we carefully ensure that the desired choice of subjects meets the criteria set by the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs.

Yet the IB DP offers so much more: It is designed to develop well-rounded, internationally-minded young learners who are prepared for the challenges of university and life beyond, both on a professional and a personal level.

Subject lessons

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) has been designed with a broad education in mind.

accadis students select from six areas of study according to their preferences, to create a programme of study which consists of six subjects. They set focal points by choosing to study three of the subjects at a higher level.

Students of the current cohort have selected from the following subjects. The subject choices are reevaluated every year.

Instead of selecting German A or English A in Group 1, it is equally possible for students to study their home language with a professional tutor. This cooperation is supported by the school and is also accredited as a valid option by the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs. The programme is called SSST - School Supported Self Taught.

In addition to the six academic subjects there are three ‘core’ subjects.

These compulsory modules are taken by all students and serve to broaden their horizons beyond the study of content knowledge.

Study Skills – Off to lecture halls worldwide

We are already considering today what our students of all ages require to master the next stage of their lives.

“one step ahead“ is our motto because anyone who wants to study needs more than subject knowledge.

At accadis your child will develop the skills necessary for higher education. In the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme of the accadis ISB Secondary School, students undertake an ambitious pre-university course programme that emphasises curricular links and independent academic work.

Thanks to the accadis Hochschule Bad Homburg and its intensive partnerships with numerous universities worldwide, we know which skills your child will need to study successfully in Germany or abroad after leaving school.

accadis Hochschule Bad Homburg
individual | excellent | one step ahead

Just outside the metropolitan city of Frankfurt and right next to the accadis International School, the accadis Hochschule Bad Homburg offers a unique individual study experience and great added value for our students and their families.

10 % alumni discount on Pedagogy and Management degree programmes

Drawing on our experience since starting out in 1980, the accadis Hochschule offers Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes in full-time as well as dual and part-time organisational formats in Management and Pedagogy. The more than 500 university students are the focus of the daily work of lecturers, professors and administrative staff. We are delighted if graduates of accadis International School wish to study at our university, thus we waive the registration fee for them and offer a 10 % alumni discount.

Extensive network for contacts in the world of business

Of course, we also offer our students' parents the opportunity to use our network for professional development or further education.

Intergenerational learning

We are particularly proud of the fact that our network is growing from within itself and demonstrates the cycle of our holistic educational concept. By now, children of alumni of the accadis Hochschule and accadis ISB are also learning at the accadis International School. There is no better way to achieve our goal of being an educational provider in all phases of life.
