Pre-IB

The Pre-IB programme at AARHUS GYMNASIUM


The Pre-IB year consists of both set and elective subjects, all taught with an international perspective. This is combined with courses in Pre-TOK and Pre-CAS, which mirror some of the holistic characteristics of the Diploma Programme and encourage students to think beyond the confines of the classroom. Together, this enables our Pre-IB students to gain fundamental subject knowledge and make informed choices about their subject choices for the Diploma Programme.

Nominally, the Pre-IB equates to the first year of the three-year Danish national upper secondary school qualifications (STX). While also preparing students for the Diploma Programme, AARHUS GYMNASIUM’s Pre-IB programme is planned in accordance with Danish regulations and thus also includes important evaluations in General Science, General Linguistics, the History Research Project as well as end-of-year tests. This makes it a challenging, developmental and formative programme in its own right. Passing the Pre-IB gives students ‘C-level’ qualifications in a number of subjects, which can be important later, for example when applying for university or in the event that students wish to switch to a different educational programme, such as the STX.

Many of our former Pre-IB students have attained excellent grades upon completion of the Diploma Programme and reflect back upon the Pre-IB as a period of substantial personal and academic growth. This makes us especially proud of the unique contribution the Pre-IB has made to a significant number of our students.
