IB DIPLOMA PROGRAMME

TESTIMONIALS

“ The IB Diploma Programme (DP) is unique in its structure. It offers more than just a variety of subject
content. The programme goes beyond content by cultivating learning through experiences. BBS students
who graduate from the Dilpoma Programme become globalized, confident, independent thinkers. With
the diploma, our students had greater opportunities in high-ranking universities worldwide and were
able to gracefully succeed in their undergraduate studies.”

“Going through the IB program taught me that it is not only about gaining skills and knowledge, it
was more of the implementation of the growth mindset strategy that helped me grow beyond the set
expectations and targets. Taking full IB Diploma courses prepared me for future challenges and guided
my decision making process to suit me better as a learner and a leader.”

“Without a doubt the International Baccalaureate program, is one that stimulates growth and hard work in a
challenging world… it ultimately paves the path to nurture knowledgeable, principled thinkers. Al Bayan’s
aspiring vision and effective mission gives it the opportunity to adapt to any situation, simultaneously,
whilst ensuring that the learning process is of high caliber, reflecting on Bayan’s leading academic
achievements. Al Bayan’s personality in responding to unprecedented situations like COVID-19, is one
of a kind, it devotes meticulous efforts in creating an atmosphere that serves its community positively. A
clear illustration of such, is Bayan’s Visual Graduation Ceremony of the class of 2020. Whether virtually
or conventionally, learning at Bayan does not stop.”

“The IB diploma has broadened my intellectual horizon by expanding my knowledge and curiosity. The
integration of online learning has also enhanced my understanding as I was exposed to various teaching
methods and a greater amount of learning resources.”

“The different circumstances of the current 2020 crisis changed the IB path we as students were expecting.
My experience was an accumulation of consistent hard work and adapting to changes. The diverse and
rigorous courses of IB subjects I chose enlightened my view as an individual not just as a student. I can
safely say that IB has set a standard within my own self to further push the limits of one’s comfortability.”

“The IB Diploma Programme was very insightful, and its impact goes far beyond any possible words of
expression. The IB Diploma Programme was a highly influential program that, despite its hardships,
personally helped equip me and prepare me for the next chapter of my life.”
