A period of 18 months is needed to complete all course elements. At Colegio Altair, the course duration equates to 2 academic years: the 11th and 12th Grades of Secondary school.

 

What is the difference between studying the IB programme in Lima and elsewhere in the world?

In terms of the examination timetable, all exam sessions are held in either May or November, depending on which part of the world the school is located. In addition, all students will complete the three core components to attain the diploma and choose six other subjects to study.

The main difference in the programme may be found in the course options offered within the six subject groups. Each school determines the course options for each subject group and will provide Diploma options after considering the strengths of the institution and the needs of its students.

 

How is the International Baccalaureate Diploma obtained?

The Diploma is obtained through a rigorous international, standardised evaluation system. Each of the six course components is assessed and awarded a grade, and the overall points gained in the Diploma are based on the grades achieved overall. IB examinations and assessments are moderated by international evaluators in a standardised system to ensure fair and consistent marking and to uphold the integrity of the course.

 

How many points are needed to pass the IBDP?

To pass the IBDP, 24 out of 45 points must be obtained. Additional requirements must be met in relation to the level of the subject options taken (intermediate/ higher). The core course elements (Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge and Creativity Activity Service) must also be completed to achieve the points necessary to pass the programme.
