1. The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) provides an international standard of education.

　The IBDP is an educational program for high school students provided through the IB headquarters in Geneva. There are currently around 4,600 IBDP schools globally. Students who receive an IB diploma are capable of entering universities around the world, thanks to the DP’s internationally recognized standards. In addition, the Ministry of Sports, Education, and Technology (MEXT), as part of its stronger position in promoting an internationalized education, is a strong proponent of the IB. Even among Japanese universities, the number of those recognizing the IB diploma is expected to continue rising.
