Students choose from the following:
  • International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme
  • International Baccalaureate Courses Programme
  • Sekolah Ciputra Courses Programme

To enrol in each program, students must meet the admission standards in Semester 1 of Grade 10.


International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP)
The IBDP is a comprehensive international curriculum delivered in English. It is a two-year pre-university study programme that demands rigorous assessment and leads to external examinations, conducted by IBO, at the end of Grade 12. Students are equipped with the skills and attitudes necessary for success in higher education and employment. The DP pathway is primarily intended for students planning to study at universities abroad or at certain universities/faculties in Indonesia. Students who have completed the Diploma Programme may be granted advanced standing or credit points towards their final degree at many universities. To enter this programme, students are expected to be highly motivated in their academic approach and the school reserves the right to refuse entrance if students are failing in key subject areas – English, Indonesian, Maths, Science, Humanities.

Sekolah Ciputra offers the following subjects at the IBDP level:

  • Language and Literature: English, Indonesian
  • Language Acquisition: English, Indonesian, Mandarin
  • Arts: Visual Arts, Music
  • Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches, Applications and Interpretations
  • Sciences: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Design Technology, Environmental Systems and Societies, and Physics
  • Individual and Societies: Business Management, Economics, History

Students choose one subject from each of the six different subject groups. At least three (and no more than four) subjects must be studied at Higher Level (HL) and the others at Standard Level (SL).

To check which universities recognise the IBDP you can look at the IB website for university admission – https://recognition.ibo.org/en-US/


The IBDP Core subjects (mandatory for all IBDP students)
Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is an interdisciplinary subject in which students critically reflect on how they know what they know. In Grade 12, students must write a 1600-word essay, in English, from a list of 6 questions specified by IBO and in Grade 11, a 950-word exhibition showing how ToK ideas manifest in the real world. 

The Extended Essay (EE) is a 4000-word essay that is externally assessed by the IBO. Students do an in-depth study to answer a question which they create based on one or two of their subjects. It helps students to be prepared for their university by introducing them to independent research and the writing skills expected at this level.

Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) gives balance to the academic program. This program aims to educate students holistically and cultivate them to become more caring and active citizens. CAS encompasses a wide range of activities, including arts, camping, individual and team sports, as well as community activities and social services. Students must complete CAS for 150 hours over the two-year program and maintain a record of their activities, including evidence, reflections and supervisor reviews.

International Baccalaureate Courses Programme (IB Courses)
The IB Courses Programme is a rigorous 2-year study program delivered in English, with strict assessments including the external exams conducted by the IBO, at the end of Grade 12. It is suitable for students who choose to study IB subjects outside the required pattern, or at different levels from those set by the IBO.

Students who successfully meet the subject requirements will receive an IB Certificate for those subjects. This certificate is recognized by colleges, college preparatory programs, and some universities abroad. Students and families are advised to check the website of each university.


Sekolah Ciputra Courses Programme (SC Courses)
This two-year programme is designed to allow students to study at Indonesian universities whilst also gaining internationally recognised qualifications, which will aid them with applying to foreign universities should they choose to do so. Students follow an IB curriculum and take their English, Indonesian and Maths examinations with the IB. They can take their other subjects with the IB or as school subjects.


The IB and SC Courses Core subjects
Students write a 4,000-word Extended Essay (EE) in English, which is assessed at the school. This is an in-depth study based on one or two subjects. It helps students to be prepared for their university by introducing them to independent research and the writing skills expected at this level.

Students participate in the CAS programme, as explained above. CAS serves as a balance to the academic programme and aims to educate students holistically and nurture them to become more caring and active citizens.

Students follow our Entrepreneurship programme which looks at aspects of creating and running a small business. In grade 12, students hold a bazaar to run their small businesses and gain valuable experience in real-life business skills.
