El IB Programa del Diploma es riguroso, desafiante académicamente y es un programa balanceado de educación diseñado para preparar a los estudiantes de grados 11 y 12 para el éxito en la universidad y en la vida. El PD busca alentar a los estudiantes a ser informados, inquisitivos, solidarios y compasivos, y a desarrollar un entendimiento intercultural, de mente abierta y las actitudes necesarias para respetar y evaluar un rango de puntos de vista.

History
Einstein School has been part of the IB community since 1996. Since then, we have successfully maintained this accreditation for more than 24 years. In September of 1996, we began with year one of the Diploma program. At the beginning, we only had one parallel per grade, so about 20-25 students per grade, now, about 45 students sit for the exams in May.
Objectives
El objetivo del BI es desarrollar personas con mentalidad internacional que, reconociendo su humanidad común y cuidado compartido del planeta, ayuden a crear un mundo mejor y más pacifico. Creemos que los atributos del perfil del BI y nuestros valores en el Colegio Einstein pueden ayudar a los individuos y a los grupos a ser miembros responsables de las comunidades locales y globales.
Curriculum

In addition, CAS (Creativity, Activity and Service) along with TOK (Theory of Knowledge) and the Extended Essay are compulsory, the core, and the philosophy behind the diploma program. The IBDP Curriculum is our curriculum, the subject guides of each subject come from the IBDP guides and standards.
