The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP ) is a two-year educational programme primarily aimed at 16-to-19-year-olds in 140 countries around the world. The programme provides an internationally accepted qualification for entry into higher education and is recognized by many universities worldwide. It was developed in the early-to-mid-1960s in Geneva, Switzerland , by a group of international educators. After a six-year pilot programme that ended in 1975, a bilingual diploma was established.
Administered by the
International Baccalaureate (IB), the IBDP is taught in schools in over 140 countries, in one of five languages: Chinese, English, French, German, or Spanish. In order to offer the IB diploma, schools must be certified as an IB school. IBDP students complete assessments in six subjects, traditionally one from each of the 6
subject groups (although students may choose to forgo a group 6 subject such as Art or music, instead choosing an additional subject from one of the other groups). In addition, they must fulfill the
three core requirements , namely CAS, TOK and the Extended Essay. Students are evaluated using both internal and external assessments, and courses finish with an externally assessed series of examinations, usually consisting of two or three timed written tests. Internal assessment varies by subject: there may be oral presentations, practical work, or written work. In most cases, these are initially graded by the classroom teacher, whose grades are then verified or modified, as necessary, by an appointed external moderator. (

Bernard A. Maguire SJ (February 11, 1818 – April 26, 1886) was an Irish-American Catholic priest and Jesuit who served twice as the president of Georgetown University . Born in Ireland, he emigrated to the United States at the age of six, and his family settled in Maryland . Maguire attended Saint John's College in Frederick, Maryland , and then entered the Society of Jesus in 1837. He continued his studies at Georgetown University, where he also taught and was prefect , until his ordination to the priesthood in 1851.
In 1852, Maguire was appointed
president of Georgetown University . His tenure is regarded as successful; new buildings were erected, the number of students increased, and
the preparatory division was partially separated from
Georgetown College . Upon the end of his presidency in 1858, he engaged in
pastoral and
missionary work in
Washington, D.C. , Maryland, and
Virginia , and developed a reputation as a skilled
preacher . In the aftermath of the
American Civil War , which devastated the university, Maguire again became president of Georgetown in 1866. The long-planned
Georgetown Law School was established at the end of his presidency. His term ended in 1870, and he returned to missionary work, traveling throughout the country. He died in
Philadelphia in 1886. (
