The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) helps students build subject knowledge while fostering appreciation for humanity, community service, and diverse cultures. 

Students will master multiple languages and cultivate skills in independent research, self-directed learning, and time management, empowering them to succeed in both their current studies and future endeavours.

• SIS Sunway City Iskandar Puteri (SISJ)

In addition to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), the Johor campus offers the exclusive International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IBCP), providing a distinct advantage not available at the KL campus.

Suitable for students who wish to follow a targeted course pathway, the programme fosters lifelong learning attitudes and habits. It encourages skill development and cultivates responsibility and high self-esteem through meaningful achievements, empowering students to make a positive difference.
