IBDP Plus Biology

The IB Diploma biology curriculum lends itself to an experimental approach, and it is expected that this will be reflected throughout the course. There is a strong emphasis on encouraging students to develop intercultural understanding, open-mindedness, and the attitudes necessary for them to respect and evaluate a range of points of view.
