IB DP at II. gimnazija Maribor

The International Baccalaureate® Diploma Programme (IB DP) was introduced at II. gimnazija Maribor in 1990 to provide Slovenia’s successful students with a conceptually different educational programme. Focused on fewer subjects, the IB DP offers a more in-depth and academic approach. While the range of subjects was initially limited, it has expanded over the years, allowing students to pursue their studies in line with their interests and abilities. The presence of students from former Yugoslav republics and other international students further enriches the programme.

Today, the IB DP at II. gimnazija Maribor is recognised both nationally and internationally. Our students consistently achieve excellent results in their final IB DP exams, a testament to the high-quality learning environment, dedicated teachers, and highly motivated students. The programme embodies the school’s motto best: “The school that opens all doors.
