International Baccalaureate (IB)
Proud Candidate School for the
IB Diploma Programme
At Kabojja International School, we are proud to be a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) — a powerful next step in our mission to offer a world-class, holistic education.
The Diploma Programme, designed for students aged 16–19, challenges learners to think critically, act with integrity, and engage meaningfully with the world around them. It is recognized globally for its academic excellence and for nurturing young people who are knowledgeable, compassionate, and open-minded.
At Kabojja, we see the DP as much more than a qualification — it’s an opportunity for our students to grow as individuals, explore their passions, and develop the skills needed for university and life beyond school.
Being a DP candidate school brings us closer to offering the full IB continuum — from the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) to the Diploma Programme (DP). This means our students will enjoy a seamless and inspiring learning journey from their early years all the way to graduation.
Our dedicated teachers and leaders are actively working with the IB Organization to prepare for authorization and ensure that our students benefit from the best of IB philosophy and practice every day.
At Kabojja, we are committed to helping every student become not just a successful learner, but a caring and confident global citizen. Together, we continue to grow, learn, and move closer to our shared goal — a better and more connected world through education.

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our IB community. At Kabojja International School, our mission is clear: to provide a safe, supportive environment where every student feels valued and can thrive both academically and personally. We believe that when children feel secure, they grow into confident, curious, and resilient learners who are ready to meet the challenges of our ever-changing world.
Through the International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes, we nurture well-rounded students who not only achieve academic excellence but also develop the skills, values, and international-mindedness needed to succeed beyond the classroom. Our learners are encouraged to think critically, act responsibly, and approach life with confidence and compassion.
Choosing IB means choosing an education that is future-focused. With an emphasis on inquiry, global perspectives, and real-world problem solving, the IB equips students to navigate complexity and make meaningful contributions to society.
We are proud to offer the full continuum of IB learning: Early Years, Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and now, as a candidate school for the Diploma Programme (DP), we are preparing to complete the journey through to graduation. This pathway ensures that our students are supported from their earliest years right through to the doorway of university and beyond.
I warmly invite you to join us on this exciting journey where students are empowered to become lifelong learners, compassionate leaders, and confident citizens of the world.
Sincerely
Anna Sundell
Head of IB School

Kabojja is now an IB World School
At Kabojja, the International Baccalaureate is a journey of growth – from curiosity in the early years to confidence in the Diploma Programme. Each stage inspires students to think critically, act responsibly, and care deeply for their world.
In the PYP, children learn through inquiry and creativity, discovering connections across subjects while building the IB Learner Profile. Their journey culminates in the PYP Exhibition, where they proudly share their research and action on global issues.
In the MYP, students take greater ownership of their learning. They connect ideas across disciplines, engage in Service as Learning, and pursue passions through the Personal Project, developing independence and responsibility.
In the DP (now a candidate school), our oldest students prepare for university and beyond through the IB Core: Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay, and CAS. They grow as thinkers, leaders, and changemakers – ready to thrive in an interconnected world.
Across all programmes, the IB spirit shines through cultural celebrations, leadership opportunities, service projects, sports, and the arts. Together, these experiences nurture internationally minded young people who are equipped not just for success, but for significance.
What is IB ?

Mission Statement from the IB
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
