The British International School has been authorized to deliver the IB Diploma Programme since 1995 to be an IB School in İstanbul.

The IB Diploma programme is a two year pre-university course leading to examinations. It is designed for highly motivated students who are aged 16 to 19. It has an excellent reputation all over the world and as a consequence gives IB Diploma holders access to the world's leading universities. The IB Diploma is accepted by universities in more than 110 countries.

Full IB Diploma students study six subjects, three at Higher Level and three at Standard Level. The subjects are chosen from six groups. Choices available may vary from year to year according to demand, timetabling and staffing changes.

In addition to the six subjects that they study, Diploma Programme students also take a Theory of Knowledge Course and take part in a Creativity, Action and Service (CAS) programme. Full Diploma students also produce a 4000 word Extended Essay.
