Recognised internationally as a highly respected qualification by universities all over the world, allowing students to access the most prestigious universities. It also allows students to fulfil the requirements of their international education systems.

The IB Diploma at the end of Grade 12 is considered a prestigious path to higher education, as it is based upon the best educational practices in the world. The programme is recognized by the German government and, providing requirements are met (see KMK document), enables students to gain the "Allgemeine Hochschulreife” (see conversion table).
